Barcelona explores the Lautaro Martinez option

FC Barcelona might turn to Lautaro Martinez if the Julian Alvarez pursuit fails.

FC Barcelona continues its efforts to strengthen its attack. While Julian Alvarez remains the priority this summer, complicated negotiations might force the Blaugrana club to consider other options.

According to several sources, if the Alvarez transfer falls through, FC Barcelona would turn its attention to Lautaro Martinez, the Inter Milan forward. This option, although considered, has not yet led to formal discussions.

Martinez is already well-known to the Catalan directors, having been monitored in the past. He could represent a viable alternative if negotiations with Atlético Madrid for Alvarez stall.
