B. Marotta: We are waiting for further "Barcelona" steps regarding L. Martinez © JumpStory

Milano "Inter" director Beppe Marotta eagerly awaits the end of the football fans' history attached to striker Lautaro Martinez. The 22-year-old Argentine is actively being tempted by the "Barcelona" team, but the Catalans will have to hurry if they plan to complete the high-profile transfer by mid-summer. "We want to further strengthen our squad because, like all big clubs, we do not intend to sell our stars. Speaking of Lautaro's case, the possibility to purchase the player for 111 million euros will expire on July 7. We are waiting for further steps from "Barcelona", then we intend to meet with the player. What is important today - the footballer gives all efforts for the team to achieve the best results on the field", - said B. Marotta.
