Barcelona will part ways with Junior Firpo in order to aid their pursuit of Lautaro Martinez, according to a report.

Barcelona are reportedly willing to offer Junior Firpo to Inter Milan as part of a deal for striker Lautaro Martinez.

Quique Setien's side are said to be in the market for a new frontman following long-term injuries to Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele, and Martinez has been persistently linked with a switch to Camp Nou.

According to Sport, Barca would be willing to part ways with Firpo in order to aid their pursuit of Martinez, who has registered 11 goals in Italy's top flight this term.

The report also claims that Setien's side could be tempted into selling Firpo for as little as £18m, with Roma, Napoli and Torino supposedly all interested in the left-back should he not be used in a deal for Martinez.

Firpo has failed to make a lasting impression at Barca since arriving from Real Betis last summer and has been restricted to only 12 La Liga appearances during the 2019-20 season.

The 23-year-old's current deal at Camp Nou will expire at the end of the 2023-24 season.
