According to Spanish media outlet Sport, Real Madrid have asked Inter Milan to name their price for Chelsea transfer target and Argentina forward Lautaro Martinez.
The report adds Inter Milan value the Argentina striker at around €70million and will be open to selling him this summer if they can secure the transfer of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea.
Real Madrid are reportedly keen on adding an Argentine to their squad to boost their presence in the football-loving South American nation. They haven’t had an Argentine in their squad since selling Angel Di Maria to Manchester United in 2014.
Meanwhile, according to transfer Insider Dean Jones, Martinez is open to joining Chelsea this summer as a replacement for Kai Havertz.
The Inter Milan forward has been heavily linked with a switch to the Blues and Jones is confident that he is gettable.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT about Martínez and Chelsea, Jones said: “So far there has been no move for Lautaro from anyone. But at Chelsea there is still a feeling that even if they sign Nicolas Jackson, there will be one more name to come up top.
“Losing [Kai] Havertz and probably [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang and [Romelu] Lukaku means a spot opens up in that frontline, and it’ll be interesting to see if they really trust [Armando] Broja or if they go for that star power.
“Lautaro would be a good option in that sense, given his history of playing at the very top level with Inter Milan and Argentina. He has a decent record of getting to the 20-goal mark and he’s gettable in this window. He would definitely be open to moving to the Premier League from what my contacts say.”
