Arsenal-linked Lautaro Martinez 'free to leave Inter Milan'

Lautaro Martinez has reportedly been given the green light to leave Inter Milan this summer, should the club receive a suitable offer for the forward.

Martinez ultimately stayed with the Nerazzurri in the summer of 2020 despite interest from Barcelona, and he netted 17 goals from 38 Serie A games en route to the Scudetto.

However, the Argentine is yet to commit his future to the Italian champions beyond 2023, and Arsenal are now rumoured to be keeping a close eye on the situation.

With Inter desperately needing to balance the books during the current transfer window, journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claims that suitable offers for Martinez will be listened to.

The 23-year-old was initially only believed to be open to a departure for Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, but a recent report claimed that Martinez could now be tempted by a move to the Emirates.

However, Arsenal's hopes of signing the South American could hinge on Alexandre Lacazette's future, and Inter are not thought to be open to a part-exchange deal with the Gunners involving the Frenchman.
