Signing Lautaro Martinez is a priority for Barcelona but they are in no rush to finalise a deal for him, at least according to a report from the online edition of Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo.

Sources with close links to Barcelona have told Mundo Deportivo that Barcelona’s interest in Lautaro remains intact despite reports in Italy suggesting that there interest has cooled as of late.

Lautaro has a €111 million release clause in his current contract with Inter, which is valid between July 1 and July 15 and the report explains that Barcelona have changed their strategy when it comes to trying to land the Argentine national team striker.

Barcelona still have no intention of paying his release clause and have a big bargaining chip in knowing that the 22-year-old wishes to link up with compatriot Lionel Messi at the Camp Nou.

If Inter are to reject the most recent offer of €70 million plus Junior Firpo, Barcelona will still be calm knowing that they could sign him in August or September.

The report goes on to add that Inter manager Antonio Conte is meanwhile trying to convince Lautaro that the best thing for him would be to stay at Inter where he is guaranteed to be a starter.

Inter have also got his teammates and other influential people at the club advising him to stay where he is too but Lautaro has also received many messages from Messi among others regarding moving to Barcelona.
