Lautaro Martinez’s name has been mentioned as a possible replacement for Robert Lewandowski as Barcelona search for a new No. 9 this summer.

Speculation about the Inter forward is nothing new, with Barcelona having been interested in the Argentina international on several occasions in the past.

Martinez has now given a new interview and has appeared to rule out a move to Barca. The striker says he’s happy at Inter and offered up the following response when asked if he’d like to see out his career in Milan.

“I definitely would like to. I don’t have the keys to Appiano yet, but almost…” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“My family and I are happy, we even have a restaurant, the kids go to school and have their friends. It’s hard for me to imagine myself anywhere else these days.

“You never know in football, but if they don’t kick me out, I’ll stay here.”

Hansi Flick spoke about the club’s hunt for a striker after Sunday’s win over Betis and said “Barca need to look for a 9 who fits our philosophy, but the most important thing is that he scores goals.”
