Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni discussed Inter striker Lautaro Martinez and a possible move to Barcelona in an interview with Argentine radio station Fenix 95.1 earlier today, as reported by Italian media outlet FcInterNews.

Scaloni detailed his thoughts about his national team call ups, discussing the 22-year-old Nerazzurri forward.

“The decision will be made according to the moment of each, certainly. Of course, we are very satisfied with Lautaro. He is very powerful, he works hard.

“He has grown enormously in Italy. If Barcelona wants him, there will be a reason. But Kun Aguero continues to score goals and break records and we’re very happy with him too.”

Barcelona are incredibly keen to sign Lautaro Martinez this summer, believing him to be the perfect replacement for the aging Luis Suarez. The Blaugrana cannot afford the 22-year-old’s €111 million release clause, which is valid in the first week of July, and have been attempting to find a new formula to tempt Inter.

Lautaro has made 35 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2708 minutes. In that time, he has scored 17 goals and provided five assists. The player has struggled to impress since the restart of the season and will need to prove his strengths once again in the remaining games of the season.
