Italian journalist Fabrizio Biasin has dismissed the idea that Inter may reduce their demands for striker Lautaro Martinez once his release clause expires.

The 22-year-old striker has a €111 million release clause in his current contract and has found himself heavily linked with a potential switch to Spanish giants Barcelona for a good few months now.

The release clause is due to expire in the coming weeks and Biasin states that Inter have no obligation to accept anything less and if anything the release clause helps out potential buyers as Inter could demand more once it has expired.

“Barcelona are looking for funds to bring him to Spain. It is unlikely that they will be able to pay the 111 million clause by July 7, but this does not change Messi’s intentions,” he wrote as part of his latest editorial for Italian news outlet TuttoMercatoWeb.

“Many say that at the end of the release clause, Inter will have to lower their demands and this, frankly, seems to me to be a ruse. The clause, by definition, is an opportunity that the market offers to buyers, if the latter do not take advantage of it, from July 8 Inter have not to ask for a million less, if anything they can ask for one more.”

This season the Argentine national team player, who has a contract with Inter through to the end of the 2022/23 season, has become a starter.

He has made 33 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 17 goals and provided four assists for his teammates.
