Inter are responding to reports that Barcelona are interested in signing Inter captain Lautaro Martinez. Multiple outlets say the speculation follows Barcelona’s lack of a deal for Atlético Madrid forward Julián Álvarez, with interest allegedly shifting toward Martinez.
According to the reports, Inter’s stance on Martinez is clear, with the club indicating it does not plan to negotiate in response to the speculation. The coverage contrasts the presence of transfer talk in Italy and Spain with Inter’s messaging that the forward remains central to its plans.
While the reports detail Barcelona’s motivation for exploring alternatives and frame the move as audacious, they do not present evidence of a concrete bid or formal talks at the time of publication. Instead, the focus stays on Inter’s position and on how far the Barcelona-linked interest has progressed, if at all, beyond media reporting.
