Inter Milan's Lautaro Martínez, who is also attracting interest from Barcelona, is available for 111 million euros this summer.

Real Madrid are considering paying Lautaro Martínez's release clause to sign the forward from Inter Milan in the close season, according to the Argentinian media outlet TyC Sports.

Martínez has scored 16 times in impressive season at Inter

Martínez is thought to be available to buy for 111 million euros this summer - a relatively affordable sum, given that the 22-year-old has been one of the outstanding performers in European football this season, scoring 16 goals and supplying four assists in 28 appearances so far for Inter.

TyC Sports says Madrid are ready to hand Martínez a 14-million-euro annual salary as they bid to secure the summer signature of a player who has been on club president Florentino Pérez's radar for some time.

Six months before leaving first club Racing Club for Inter in a 25-million-euro deal in summer 2018, indeed, Martínez revealed that Madrid were among the teams to have expressed an interest in him, telling TyC: "I've had a lot of offers, and they [Madrid] wanted to speak to me."

Barcelona also keen on Martínez as Suárez successor

Should Los Blancos launch a swoop for Martínez, they can expect stiff competition from arch rivals Barcelona, with the Argentina international among the targets favoured by the Blaugrana board as the club look for a long-term replacement for Luis Suárez.
