translated from Spanish: Quique Setién recognized Barcelona’s interest in Lautaro Martínez

In the middle of the parate, the rumors that Lautaro Martínez will dress in the Barcelona shirt continue to grow and every day is different the form of payment and orders from Inter to reach 111 million of the termination clause, without having to pay the sum in full money. However, there are sporting issues that have to do with whether or not he is arriving at the club and the one who referred to the song was Quique Setién, coach of the Catalan group, who spoke in an Italian medium and made it clear that he meets the profile to become the striker who accompanies Lionel Messi.

Set also spoke of the chance for Lautaro Martínez to sign for Barcelona.

“Lautaro is an important player, a great striker and Barcelona always took an interest in this type of footballer. All good players can pique Barcelona’s interest and it is clear that the possibility of playing with Messi is a huge incentive”, remarked in La Gazzetta dello Sport.Lautaro took all the flashes in his second season in Europe, after his adaptation period, where he has scored 16 goals in 31 games and has a contract until 2023 with a termination clause of 111 million euros. To try to carry that silver, the Chilean Arturo Vidal and Frenchman Antonine Griezmann are rumoured to travel to Milan.

Barcelona and Inter negotiate for the Argentine and could enter Vidal and Griezmann.

The economic issue affects all clubs and Setién noted that football could change forever, or at least return to smaller figures. “Most clubs will need to re-arrange their budgets. The amounts of money that were previously being paid will no longer be possible, at least in the short term. I don’t think any club is willing to pay 222 million euros like PSG did for Neymar.” Closing with his note, he referred to the chance that Lionel Messi might come out of the club in the near future, however he does not see it that way. “Messi will not leave Barcelona, he will always be attached to the club, He has been here for 20 years and no one could explain a breakup, it is something that goes beyond money”.
