Conte is not interested in the three players for his new project in Milan

Inter Milan have already rejected Barcelona trio Nelson Semedo, Junior Firpo and Ivan Rakitic as possible makeweights in a possible deal for Lautaro Martinez, according to the Italian journalist Nicol Schira. 

Antonio Conte, the Inter coach, is not interest in any of the three players as he builds for next season, although he is open to other players in the Barça squad as the Catalans look to bring down the Argentine's 111 million euros price tag. 

According to the same report, Barça offered Semedo, Junior and Rakitic as part of the initial negotiations with the Serie A club, but failed to achieve a breakthrough. 

Inter, though, are still demanding a huge price Lautaro, although they would accept it in installments. Barça continue to insist on the idea of including players to bring the cost down. The most interesting player for Inter could be Arturo Vidal. 

Barça have put Ivan Rakitic on the transfer market (he seems to only want to move to Sevilla), along with Junior (there is interest in Italy) and Semedo (Manchester City have suggested a swap deal for Joao Cancelo)

However, Barça to have other players in mind to use in a player plus cash deal and it seems that the negotiations are about to move into the definitive stage. 

Sergio Zarate, one of Lautaro's representatives, has not shut the door to the Argentine forward joining Barcelona. He spoke to Fox Sports in Mexico recently and was asked about the Inter striker.

“There’s a very big possibility,” he said, asked about his client's chances to sign for Barca. “He’s a great player. A tremendous player, this kid doesn’t have a ceiling.”
