Argentina national team coach Roberto Ayala believes that the Albiceleste would benefit if Inter striker Lautaro Martinez is to complete a transfer to Barcelona in the coming months.

The highly rated 22-year-old striker has been linked with a move to the Blaugrana club almost daily for a number of months now and he seemingly has an agreement in principle over personal terms with them although there is still no agreement between the clubs.

“If Lautaro Martinez went to Barcelona, the Argentine national team would benefit as his understanding with Lionel Messi could improve,” Ayala began an interview with Argentine news outlet Olé.

“The more games they play together and the more they will know each other but it remains to be seen whether Lautaro will play for Barça or not because we cannot forget that there is a certain Suárez there.”

He then spoke on the decision that Lautaro is facing with regard to his future.

“It is an important decision that Lautaro must make. In any case, his choice must be respected because it affects his career. Today Lautaro is already at a very important club.

“There is a lot at stake, it is very difficult to make suggestions. We are discussing a subject that is not within my competence. I always wish him the best for his career.”

Ayala, who played for the Argentine national team 115 times between 1994 and 2007, then spoke on the growth Lautaro has experienced whilst at Inter.

“Today at Inter he has grown a lot and has he has been able to conquer a starting position. Inter has focused heavily on him, their coach is improving him and he has a partner with whom he does very well. Lautaro has adapted very well to Lukaku, who has a little more experience.”

This season Lautaro has made 31 appearances across all competitions to date. In his time on the park he has scored 16 goals and provided four assists for his teammates.
