Lautaro Martinez distracted by Barcelona rumors, says Marotta

Inter CEO Beppe Marotta thinks one of the reasons for Lautaro Martinez’s current lack of goals is the Argentine being distracted by speculation over his future.

The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to Barcelona this summer, although Inter have made it clear they are not interested in selling.

Martinez was in fine form for the Nerazzurri before the season was paused in March because of the coronavirus pandemic but has managed just one goal since the restart.

Marotta has offered his thoughts on Martinez and warned he needs peace of mind if he’s to return to top form.
