Successful deal for L. Martinez: "Barcelona" will have another candidate © JumpStory

„Barcelona“ team decided to strengthen their attacking line this summer no matter what. According to Belgian media, if the Catalans fail to acquire Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez, the „La Liga“ team's gaze would turn to yet another „Serie A“ player. The potential new addition to the team „Barcelona“ would not cost a single cent - the free agent who could become a „Napoli“ striker is Dries Mertens. Although it was reported some time ago that the 33-year-old veteran had reached an agreement on a new contract with the Italians, so far no official announcements have been made, giving hope to the Catalans to get a high-level player for free. In this „Serie A“ season, D. Mertens scored 6 goals and provided 4 assists in 21 matches.
