"The injury-prone Luis Suarez had previously warned Barcelona to acquire a young and promising forward.
With Suarez sidelined for a long time, Barcelona took desperate action and brought in 28-year-old Leganes striker Martin Braithwaite after the end of the winter transfer window.
Speaking to the Catalan media, the Uruguayan stated that Barcelona needed and still needs a forward like Lautaro Martinez.
"Lautaro is a very talented player. This is his second year in Italy and he has already proven that he can play at the highest level," - quoted RAC1 L. Suarez.
"For several years I have been telling Barcelona that we need to acquire a young forward who can fit into the team, learn from others, and replace me when the time comes. However, players do not make such decisions," added the 33-year-old forward.
According to various sources, L. Martinez will be one of Barcelona's top priorities in the upcoming summer. He has a release clause of 111 million euros in his contract with Inter Milan."
