Inter Milan are reportedly hopeful of extending the contract of forward Lautaro Martinez.
Since the turn of the year, Barcelona have been heavily linked with the Argentina international, who has a £97m release clause in his contract.
However, at a time when that exit route for Martinez expires on Tuesday, Barcelona do not possess the funds to push through a deal.
According to Tuttosport, Inter view the situation as an opportunity to agree fresh terms with the 22-year-old, including raising his release clause.
The report claims that the Serie A outfit are prepared to offer Martinez a pay rise, providing that he commits his future to the club until the end of the 2023-24 campaign.
Martinez has scored 17 goals from 33 appearances in Italy's top flight and the Champions League this season.
