A few steps left to sign Lautaro
Barcelona are near to completing the signing of Lautaro Martinez from Inter, but the deal is not over the line. For the relocation to be officially sealed, two things must happen. The first is for Barcelona to sell another player to balance their books, having already released Arthur Melo. The second is for the Catalans to agree on a transfer fee with Inter, while the cost of moving should have been about €120 million. About €70 million of this total estimate will consist of two players who will offer Barcelona, and the rest will come in cash. It is not yet known who the two players will be, exchanged from Camp Nou to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza will be.
Recent reports suggest that the deal is almost complete. But the truth is that these two details should still be eliminated in the first place. The clause on the issue of €111 million in Lautaro’s contract with Inter has expired on Tuesday, but Barcelona has never had plans to pay it. As soon as the Argentinean’s transfer to Blaugrana is completed. He can ultimately triple his €2.5 million per year contract he has at Inter.
