Barcelona agree personal terms with Martinez

FC Barcelona have reportedly agreed personal terms with Inter Milan’s Argentinean striker, Lautaro Martinez. This is according to Spanish Daily, Sport.

Martinez has been the Spanish side’s main target for this summer and despite the disruption caused by the coronavirus chaos, Barca have continued to pursue him.

The Argentine will receive €12m per year plus bonuses, according to Sport, on a five-year deal. This was apparently done with Inter’s blessing, despite it being technically against the rules.

The transfer is not yet sealed yet however – there is the small matter of an agreement with Inter for Barcelona to figure out. Inter have demanded a minimum of €80m in cash, with players on top – some way off the €60m that Barca have put on the table so far.

Still, with personal terms now agreed, it seems an agreement might be close, and despite the bad global conditions, this monster transfer could happen after all.
