Inter Milan 'not planning contract talks with Barcelona target Lautaro Martinez'

Inter Milan have reportedly not established talks with Barcelona target Lautaro Martinez over a new long-term contract.

The striker has enjoyed a strong 2019-20 campaign at San Siro, netting 13 goals in all competitions.

Reports had claimed that, amid interest from Barcelona, Inter were planning on handing Martinez a fresh bumper contract to ward off the Catalan club.

However, according to Corriere dello Sport, there are at present no talks between Inter and Martinez, whose current deal lasts until 2023 and has a release clause of around £93m.

The La Liga champions are said to have made signing Martinez a priority as they prepare for life after Luis Suarez, who turns 33 next month.
