Arsenal receive blow in Lautaro Martinez pursuit
Arsenal have received a blow in their pursuit of Lautaro Martinez. According to The Hard Tackle via Tutto Mercato Web, the Argentinean only wants to join a big club who can guarantee him trophies. The 24-year-old has come into his own for Inter Milan since the departure of Romelu Lukaku last summer. His goalscoring exploits have earned him admirers at the Emirates.
Manager Mikel Arteta wants a new world-class number nine and has his eyes on Martinez. However, the Argentinean prefers a move to clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool instead.
Apart from the Gunners, Atletico Madrid are also monitoring the 24-year-old with interest. However, Martinez is not interested in a move to the Wanda Metropolitano. He would like to join Barcelona or Real Madrid instead.
