Barcelona have reportedly reignited their interest in Inter Milan centre-forward Lautaro Martinez.
The 24-year-old has again been in strong scoring form for his Italian club during the 2021-22 campaign, finding the back of the net on 17 occasions in 41 appearances in all competitions.
Martinez still has more than four years left to run on his current deal, but there has been a host of speculation surrounding his future in recent months, with a number of clubs, including Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur, linked with his services.
Barcelona were widely expected to sign the Argentina international in the summer of 2020, but the COVID-19 outbreak made it impossible for the move to be completed.
According to Sport, the Catalan outfit have now revived their interest, viewing the striker as a cheaper option to Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland and Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski.
The report claims that Inter are interested in signing Memphis Depay from Xavi's team, so the Netherlands international could be used as a potential makeweight.
Martinez has scored 66 goals and registered 23 assists in 173 appearances for Inter since making the move from Racing Club in July 2018.
