The Argentine wants to join Barcelona and will not put pen to paper

The Lautaro Martinez soap opera seemed like it was over. The player's agent said he would stay at Inter Milan for another season more at least. Negotiations between Barca and the Italians were blocked, so it seemed he was going to stay under Antonio Conte's command.

However Il Corriere dello Sport said on Tuesday that the chess moves are not over. "The game continues," wrote the paper. They say Lautaro will not renew his deal with Inter Milan beyond 2023. He wants to play with Leo Messi (who may not be at Barcelona beyond this season).

Barca have a card to play still this window, after this move, even if for now they are focusing on and sales and have also been linked to Memphis Depay.

The Italians are conscious of the player's plans and may choose to sell rather than risking him eventually walking away for nothing.
