Arsenal target Lautaro Martinez would reportedly prefer to join Manchester City or Liverpool in this summer's transfer window.
The 24-year-old, who currently plies his trade with Serie A giants Inter Milan, is set to be one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
Mikel Arteta is understood to have identified Martinez as a potential target for the Gunners this summer, while North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Spanish outfit Atletico Madrid have also expressed their interest in the Argentina international.
However, TuttomercatoWweb claims that Martinez has his eyes set on joining an elite European club who are competing for trophies such as Man City, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
Inter are believed to be keen to keep hold of their star striker but they may be tempted to sell if they receive an offer in excess of €80m (£67.4m).
Martinez, who is under contract at San Siro until June 2026, has been a standout performer for the Italian giants this campaign, scoring 19 goals and registering three assists in 42 appearances across all competitions.
