Manchester United and Manchester City will reportedly do battle for the signature of Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez next summer.
The 22-year-old has impressed with his performances so far this season, netting seven goals in all competitions - including goals away at Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
Reports have suggested that Barcelona, now looking for a Luis Suarez replacement, view Martinez as a priority ahead of the summer transfer window
According to Calcio Mercato, United and City will also both make a concerted effort to secure the Argentine's signature.
It is claimed that Martinez has a release clause of £95m, which becomes valid for clubs outside of Italy between July 1 and July 15.
United have placed emphasis on signing a striker following Romelu Lukaku's departure to Inter, while City are looking for a long-term replacement for Sergio Aguero.
