Lautaro Martinez

Fucking Barcelona. Seems like the inevitable is about to happen.

Nothing so far has pointed out that it's going to happen.

There are a few big transfers rumoured for this summer even ahead of COVID apart from Lautaro, I suspect the first transfer will set the bar for other transfers to adjust for market conditions - assuming UEFA defines June or later for the transfer window. Sane move for example is the other big transfer that has similar numbers being discussed

That's a great salary and in an uncertain future due to Sars-CoV2 he would be foolish not to accept that.Perhaps we can make it tougher for him by giving him a lucrative salary plus bonusses here and insisting Barca cough up the full 111 mil sum.This talent should definitely not be allowed to leave without a fight and Marotta mustn't just behave like an accountant here.We must show ambition here.I can understand if they match his release clause whilst giving him that salary but anything else in this uncertain market will leave me really disappointed in Marotta.

I don't understand why you are ignoring the will of the player? It's obvious that Lautaro wants to go in Barca and play Messi with. The only way to change his mind is to bring Messi at Inter, which would be nice move.

Inter & Barcelona Not Close To Agreeing Terms Over €111M Rated Lautaro Martinez

Inter and Barcelona are far from close when it comes to reaching an agreement over Lautaro Martinez according to a report from transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio on Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, aired moments ago.

Lautaro has a €111 million release clause in his current Inter contract but Barcelona want to do a player or players plus cash deal to sign him.

As things stand, there is some distance between what Barcelona are wanting to offer both in terms of cash and players and what Inter are wanting to receive with the report adding that Antonio Conte does not rate the players currently on offer as part of a deal.

Barcelona are willing to complete a deal for the 22-year-old Argentine national team striker whilst Inter have certainly not closed the door to potentially selling him.

This season the former Racing Club player, who is under contract with Inter until 2023, has made 31 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 16 goals and tallied four assistd.

Barca is clearly trying to get Lautaro to turn against Inter by offering ridiculous amount of money for contract. At the same time Messi is flirting to him like a little bitch.

Thats how they expect Inter to give discount of the transfer fee they cannot afford. I believe Marotta will get a good deal. Barca seems too desparate of Lautaro. Lautaro is promising player but he only has less than one season at the high level. Also his stamina and tenacity seems to weaken after first half.

Martinez's reputation and hype is carrying him quite far despite not really showing all that much at the top level. I know he's a talent, but this could blow up pretty spectacularly if he doesn't establish himself immediately at Barca.
Barca offering 10mil+ a season is insane and further proof of how desperate they are to keep Messi happy with a marquee signing. We shouldn't concede 1cm. If they can afford these salaries, they can afford the full clause or insert some quality players they don't want to lose.

As has been stated, we hold all the cards here. Martinez has to keep playing to show the world he's worth it. We don't have to accept anything less than 111mil.

Barcelona wants to build one great one for Messi before he goes. The problem for them is COVID and the massive drop in their revenues. They cannot afford to do it because they've spend huge amounts of money already in recent years. I simply can't see this happening unless Marotta drops the ball.

Let's be sincere. Losing Lautaro is going to be all on Marotta.

It's a mystery how strong is Lautaro willing to push for the move. I mean even Milito suggested he should move ffs

I assume he gave a yes with certain strings attached, which are probably connected to playing time and Inter's demands.

So far, he hasn't pushed it at all. All the blabber about "Lautaro wants to go to play with Messi" is coming from the Spanish press. Nowhere else. No Italian reporter has reported that Lautaro would be pushing the deal nor Inter and Barcelona are anywhere close the deal. Everything is coming from Mundo Deportivo or Sport.

Like brehme said, it's about if Marotta wants to sell Lautaro. Lautaro is not pushing the move if Inter don't want to sell him. That's been the stance like since the Barca rumors started. He can agree all kind of contract offers from different clubs, but it doesn't mean he's wanting to go to these clubs by forcing his current club to sell. Most likely these "agreements" is just a tactic by his agent to pump up his price in contract negotiation table with Inter. Just like Mertens did, just like Dzeko did last summer. Like numerous players (agents) have done before.

Why this hasn't gone away yet? Because we haven't signed the new contract yet. Why? Maybe Lautaro's agent wants to put some more pressure to Marotta to have a better contract, or maybe Marotta is fishing if somehow Barca would come with a monstrous offer. Or both or something between those two scenarios.

Lautaro deserves a big raise and my fear is Marotta isn't willing to pay him enough. He surely likes those players from abroad who he can apply the tax reductions. Hopefully my fear is totally unnecessary and we're gonna sign him a new deal within one month or something. Wouldn't want this to drag on for months and player growing unhappy and uncertain of his situation.

According to Di Marzio, Inter prefer Firpo over Semedo as a counterpart in the deal for Lautaro.

Paying 12 mil a season for a guy who has 20 goals and 3 good months in Europe is a huge risk. If we have to match those wages, I dont blame marotta one bit for walking away.

I don't think we have to match that salary. I believe if we like quadruple Lautaro's salary (1.5m€) and add some bonuses, it will be fine. Or maybe some kind of rising yearly salary starting from 4-5m€ or something. And removing the clause completely or upping the set price, which would be totally fine too. If he wants to go later, just arrange a buyer to pay the clause and you're free to go (Raiola style).

It's also a bit questionable if Barcelona have really even offered such salary mentioned in rumors. Their main priority is to get rid of salaries and players to generate cash and decrease their wage bill. Offering some 10-13m€ net salary is very questionable claim at this point. Before they have settled the situations with let's say Coutinho and Rakitic, I think it's hard for them to add expensive players to their squad.

They paid 18m€ + 12m€ bonuses for Junior Firpo just last August. Chances are in their eyes he'd be rated at least 20m€, probably even more.

Firpo has been pretty poor for them so they value him around 20-25m while they value Semedo around 45m (according to Spanish media). Perhaps that's the reason we prefer Firpo as we would be getting much more cash.

But do we really want to take a poor player as makeweight do that Barca don't have to pay that much in cash? Yet another WB/FB for 20m€+?

That would be same that we offer 30 millions and Lazaro for Werner.

I really don't know why we would want Firpo. I prefer other players over him for our left side. Firpo was good at Betis as a wingback so perhaps Conte believes he can regain his form if he's used as a wingback again and his poor performances at Barcelona have mostly to do with back 4 formation.
