Lautaro Martinez to Barcelona: Messi speaks out on club’s signing plans
Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, has disclosed that he does not influence the club’s signing plans amid interest linking Inter Milan striker, Lautaro Martinez, with a move to Camp Nou this summer.
Messi and Martinez are team-mates in the Argentina national team.
Edujandon.com had reported that Martinez is one of Barcelona’s top targets this summer, but the financial impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) means they are unlikely to meet the player’s £97million buy-out clause.
But Messi has insisted that he does not know if there is currently a negotiation between Barcelona and Martinez, adding that the 22-year-old is a complete forward.
“If I’m honest, I don’t know very well if there were negotiations right now for him [Lautaro Martinez], I’ve no idea,” the Barca number 10 told Mundo Deportivo.
“I think I already mentioned it, that Lautaro is an impressive striker, mainly because I believe he is a very complete forward: he is strong, he dribbles well, he has a goal, and he knows how to protect the ball.
“But well, we’ll have to see what happens finally with him,” he added.
