Transfer: Barcelona president gives latest update on Inter Milan striker, Lautaro Martinez

Barcelona's president, Josep Bartomeu, has disclosed that the club have held discussion with Inter Milan over a transfer move for striker, Lautaro Martinez.

We reported that Martinez is one of Barcelona's top targets this summer, but the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic means they are unlikely to meet the player's £97million buy-out clause.

"We held conversations with Inter a few weeks ago [over a transfer for Lautaro Martinez], but the negotiations are not ongoing at the moment. We are evaluating things," Bartomeu told TV3.

"The league and the Champions League are not finished, so we have to evaluate our priorities. We have also to make considerations on internal factors to face the crisis that the club is facing.
