Barcelona’s Deco Holds Talks with Lautaro Martinez’s Agent as Alvarez Alternative
Barcelona‘s sporting director Deku recently held talks with Alejandro Camano, the agent of Inter striker Lautaro Martinez. The Catalan club is considering the 28-year-old Argentine as their primary backup option in case the transfer of Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid falls through.
While the forward from Atletico remains the top priority for Barcelona’s management, the high cost and complexity of that deal have prompted the club to explore alternatives. Lautaro Martinez has long been on Barcelona’s radar, and his profile perfectly fits the requirements of Deku and Hansi Flick, who are eager to strengthen the attacking line with a player of top-tier quality.
