€111m or fuck off.
I don't think Barca are likely to spend big for Martinez this summer. They seem more keen to swap Dembele with Dybala in line with Paratici's masterplan to fuck up Rube.

Haha he has 3x the wages and is worth 1/4th the price
Coutinho has been pretty bad since leaving Liverpool. Also where do you put him. You will have the Eriksen problem twice and be missing a starting #9
Either Lautaro or Lukaku fix our financial situation. Other than that Keep both and stay competitive that way more marketing/game day/tv revenue
VAR is some serious Bullshit!
This one is like those stories about false messiahs who predicted the second coming, which shockingly never materialized, only to come back with even more followers same time next year.
The Barca rumor is just some stupid silly season bullshit. Barcelona is also in deep fucking shit financial wise and they won't have the funds to finance the transfer. They have also been incredibly bad when it comes to offloading their players so there is just no way they can afford Lautaro.
We're fine.
====================
With regards to the Luis Suarez comparison, I am at the camp that at the same age, Suarez definitely had more je ne sais quoi as a player. But we must also remember that players do not grow at the same rate. Although unlikely, it's not impossible for Lautaro to have a later growth spurt. Case in point, see Jamie Vardy. Under the right tutelage and hard work, I think Martinez has a chance and I'd be delighted if he can eventually reach Suarez's level.
And honestly, no one is hurt even if Lautaro doesn't reach Suarez highs. Suarez became one of the top strikers of this generation (decade), it's not like if Lautaro doesn't hit that level, he's not that good. There's plenty of room under Suarez tier.
If they don't have the money for Lautaro i'm ok wtih Ansu Fati and De Jong in exchange for Lautaro Martines
Dutch media is reporting Koeman wants Depay and told Barca they can get Aguero but he still wants Depay, so I can't imagine them going for Lautaro if they get Aguero and Depay. Even if they did they couldn't offer anything near Inter should want for him.
They can have Vidal back.
**I move away from the mic to breathe in
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's not just a matter of sacrifice.
They need to avoid taking losses and if you inflate transfer values you don't really gain that much apart from a quick capital profit for a specific year, but you still are being penalized by heavy amortization.
There's no financial incentive for clubs to take on a transfer for Griezmann at those levels.
<<Gli scudetti è giusto vincerli sul campo>> Antonio Conte on Calciopoli
Peppino Prisco facci un gol
Yeah and Griezmann's net salary is something like 17m€ (or maybe even more with bonuses). We don't pay player even 10m€ base salary. Not even Juventus is gonna take Griezmann from Barcelona and their revenues are much bigger.
Some rumors that Lautaro would have broken up with his long-time agents and is going to deal with Inter alone (with the help of his lawyer obviously, and maybe father) regarding his new contract. Seems like a great news as these things typically happen when the agents aren't doing their job correctly and try to do some shenanigans with other clubs (which isn't appreciated by the player). Same thing happened with Skriniar back then when his agent tried to milk offers from other clubs when the contract renewal negotiations were started with Inter and Skriniar didn't want to have any of it.
Inb4 he hires Raiola.
