Atletico Madrid express interest in Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez?

Atletico Madrid have reportedly identified Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez as a summer transfer target.

While the defending La Liga champions only sit in fourth position in the standings, their current placing is down to a leaky defence rather than a faltering attack.

However, that has not stopped Diego Simeone's side being consistently linked with at least one fresh face for the attack, likely as a replacement for Luis Suarez.

According to journalist Nicolo Schira, Colchoneros have informed Inter that they hold an interest in signing Martinez during the next window.

The Argentina international has endured a mixed campaign at San Siro, contributing 15 goals from his 36 appearances in Serie A and the Champions League.

Nevertheless, Inter are said to be demanding in excess of €70m (£58.2m) for the 24-year-old, whose contract does not expire until the end of 2025-26.
