A look at the latest gossip from around Europe

Barcelona have reportedly already made an offer to Inter Milan for striker Lautaro Martinez and are willing to pay cash plus two players.

Martinez has a release clause of €111m but Barca aren’t too interested in that and have instead offered €70m plus Nelson Semedo and Arturo Vidal, according to a report in Italy.

Apparently, Barca have offered the Argentinian a five-year contract worth €7m a year plus bonuses which is more than triple what he currently earns at San Siro.

The report claims that Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United and City are also interested but are behind Barca in the race for the 22-year-old.

Inter were keen on a move for Vidal in the January window but could not get a deal done, while reports have claimed Barca would be willing to cash in on Semedo for a while.

Lautaro seems to be Barca’s top target for the summer transfer window, although those Neymar return rumors still refuse to go away and the club surely can’t afford both.
