Inter Milan sporting director insists Barcelona need to trigger release clause to sign Lautaro Martinez

Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio has insisted that the club have no intention of selling Lautaro Martinez to Barcelona unless the Spanish champions are willing to trigger the release clause on his contract.

The Argentina international has been constantly linked with the Blaugrana over the past few months with suggestions that he has been identified as the long-term successor to Luis Suarez for the centre-forward role.

Earlier this month, it was claimed by Sport that the Blaugrana could look into a potential part-exchange agreement with Inter for Martinez as they are unlikely to meet the buy-out clause on the striker’s contract.
