Lautaro Martinez's Agent Talks Up Barcelona, Lionel Messi Link

Lautaro Martinez's agent, Alberto Yaque, has said "it would be great to see" his client play alongside fellow Argentinian Lionel Messi at Barcelona.

The Inter Milan striker starred for Argentina earlier this week, netting a hat-trick in their 4-0 friendly win over Mexico in Texas.

The Albiceleste were missing the likes of Messi, Sergio Aguero and Angel Di Maria, while Paulo Dybala started on the bench, but Martinez had his treble inside 40 minutes against El Tri:

The 22-year-old has also started the season well with his club side, netting Inter's opener in their 2-1 win over Cagliari earlier this month.
