Inter hopeful of keeping Barcelona-linked Martinez despite 'unpredictable' market

Lautaro Martinez has been linked with a move from Inter to Barcelona but CEO Giuseppe Marotta is not concerned by the transfer speculation.

Martinez scored a first-half double in Inter's 2-1 win over SPAL on Sunday to fire his side to the top of Serie A and take his goals tally for the season to 13 in all competitions.

The 22-year-old's impressive start to his second campaign in San Siro has seen him emerge as a rumoured target for La Liga champions Barcelona in recent weeks, as they look to identify a long-term heir for the aging Luis Suarez.
