Lautaro Martinez has reportedly informed Inter Milan that he is interested in signing for Barcelona.

After netting 16 times in Serie A and Europe this season, Martinez has allegedly emerged as Barca's preferred long-term replacement for Luis Suarez.

However, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, it remains unclear whether the Catalan giants will be able to fund a move for the Argentina international, who is said to have a release clause in the region of £96m.

Nevertheless, according to reports in Spain, the 22-year-old has told Inter officials that he wishes to move to Camp Nou during the next transfer window.

With just over three years remaining on his contract, Inter remain in a strong position regarding the player's future.

Previous reports have claimed that Barcelona will look to include at least one player in part-exchange for Martinez - something which could appeal to Inter.
