Barcelona 'to trigger Lautaro Martinez release clause'

Barcelona reportedly plan to meet the release clause of Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez during the summer transfer window.

For a number of months, Barca have been linked with an approach for the Argentine as they look for a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez.

A previous report has claimed that the Catalan giants have already agreed a contract with the 22-year-old, who has scored 16 times this campaign.

According to Tuttosport, the La Liga outfit are willing to meet Martinez's release clause, said to be set in the region of £101m.

While Barcelona are prepared to pay that fee, it is suggested that the Spanish team may be willing to offer players in part-exchange to reduce the price.

Arturo Vidal has previously been linked with a move in the opposite direction.
