According to Sport, FC Barcelona has identified Inter's 28-year-old Argentine forward Lautaro Martinez as a target in their search for a world-class center-forward for future transfer windows, with a particular focus on next summer. The signing of a striker is reportedly one of three priorities for Deco, who is also considering Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez for the role. The club is looking for a player to be the team's big star, though it remains to be seen how they will finance such a move given their financial issues. Martinez's current contract with Inter runs until June 2029.
