Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez is reportedly desperate to secure a move away from the Nerazzurri in 2021.
The Argentine was tipped to join Barcelona over the summer and become Luis Suarez's successor, but the financial implications of the coronavirus outbreak meant that the Blaugrana could not fund a move.
As a result, Martinez remained at San Siro where he boasts six goals and three assists in all competitions this season, but the 23-year-old is yet to extend his contract with Antonio Conte's side past 2023.
According to Marca, Martinez has tasked highly-regarded negotiator Jorge Mendes with the job of finding him a new club, although Barcelona will still not possess the necessary finances to move for the striker.
The report claims that Real Madrid are one of the teams to have been offered the chance to sign Martinez, but the Argentina international is unlikely to secure a move elsewhere until clubs can ease the strain on their finances amid the ongoing pandemic.
Martinez provided the assist for Alexis Sanchez's opener in Inter's 3-0 victory over Sassuolo in Serie A at the weekend.
