Barcelona interest in Lautaro confirmed as Abidal eyes Suarez successor

A Blaugrana legend has admitted the club could target Inter's in-form striker, with a key performer approaching the twilight years of his career

Eric Abidal has confirmed that Barcelona are interested in signing Inter forward Lautaro Martinez as a possible replacement for Luis Suarez.

Suarez is approaching the final 18 months of his current contract at Camp Nou and at 32-years-old is unlikely he will be offered the chance to extend his stay.

It has been suggested that the Uruguay international could leave Barca next year , with summer signing Antoine Greizmann now pushing for the central striker role in Ernesto Valverde's line up.
