Legendary Argentine footballer Mario Kempes has shared his views on the continued media reports which are linking Inter striker Lautaro Martinez with a move to Barcelona.

Various reports in the media of a number of countries have stated that the highly rated 22-year-old is on the reigning La Liga champions radar and is one of their top transfer targets.

It has been widely reported that Barcelona wish to do a player(s) plus cash deal for the former Racing Club player who they are said to see as the long term successor to current striker Luis Suarez.

Other reports have meanwhile stated that Inter have no intention of letting him go for anything less than the €111 million release clause which is in his current contract, a clause which is only valid to foreign teams during the first two weeks in July.

“For a couple of years now Lautaro has shown himself to be a top number nine at Inter and for Argentine,” Kempes remarked in an interview with Italian news outlet TuttoMercatoWeb.

“I believe that the train only passes once and, beyond the fact that Inter is a great team recognised worldwide, Barça is totally different, playing alongside Messi would be fantastic.”

“If he stays with Inter, it could be a good thing to continue gaining experience, however, if he wants to go to Barcelona and Inter is willing to let him leave for a good figure…”

This season Lautaro has made 31 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 16 goals and provided a total of four assists for his teammates.
