The agent of Lautaro Martinez has suggested that the Inter Milan forward is open to a future move to Barcelona.

Having scored 16 goals in Serie A and the Champions League this season, Martinez has been heavily linked with a switch to Camp Nou during the next transfer window.

While much could depend on whether the Catalan giants can finance a big-money deal, the Argentine's representative Albert Yaque has admitted that the 22-year-old would enjoy playing alongside compatriot Lionel Messi.

Yaque is quoted by Club Octubre 947 as saying: "Who wouldn't like to play with Messi? Talking about games that they played in the national team, he said it was a dream, imagine it, to play so young for Argentina and with Messi, but he doesn't talk about that much, he's a reserved boy.

"If we asked him where he'd want to play, he wouldn't tell us anything, he wouldn't lose his head about big clubs wanting him but there's nothing official today."

Martinez allegedly has a release clause, said to be in the region of £92m, in his Inter contract.
