Lautaro Martinez - linked with Arsenal and Manchester United - has no desire to leave Inter Milan this summer, according to his agent Alejandro Camano.

Lautaro Martinez has no desire to leave Inter Milan during this summer's transfer window, according to his agent Alejandro Camano.

The 24-year-old has again been in impressive scoring form for the Italian champions during the 2021-22 campaign, finding the back of the net on 21 occasions in 45 appearances, in addition to contributing three assists.

Martinez has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks, with Arsenal and Manchester United both believed to be keen on his signature in the upcoming market.

However, the Argentina international's representative has shut the door on a possible exit this summer, insisting that his client is only "thinking about Inter".

Camano told Radio Colonia: "We are not depending on a transfer, he is at Inter, he is happy, the city is wonderful. Sometimes the press publishes things about a transfer but Lautaro is thinking about Inter, giving the people of Inter joy, becoming champions and working for the World Cup."

Martinez, also linked with Atletico Madrid, only signed a new contract at San Siro last October, with his current agreement due to run until June 2026.

However, the South American's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with various reports claiming that Inter would be open to selling him for the right price.

Martinez has netted 17 times in 32 Serie A appearances during the 2021-22 campaign, but he found it difficult to make his mark in the Champions League, scoring just once in eight appearances.

In total, the striker has scored 70 goals and registered 23 assists in 177 matches for Inter since arriving from Racing Club in July 2018, while he also has an impressive record for the Argentine national side, firing 19 goals in 37 caps for his country.

"Lautaro is amazed to play with the Argentine national team, they are all behind Messi, we believe that this is Messi's World Cup," added Camano. "If Lautaro can score all the possible goals to bring that joy to the country, he will do everything possible."

Arsenal, who have allegedly made Martinez their leading summer target, could be in the market for a couple of new forwards during the upcoming market, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leaving in January, and both Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette out of contract at the end of June.

Man United, meanwhile, will lose Edinson Cavani on a free transfer this summer, while the futures of Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are unclear.

A recent report claimed that the 20-time English champions are prepared to offer Martial plus £42m for the Inter forward during the summer market.

However, both English clubs will seemingly now be forced to look elsewhere, with the duo also believed to be interested in signing Benfica's Darwin Nunez.

Interim Man United head coach Ralf Rangnick recently said that "two or three" new strikers could make the move to Old Trafford during this summer's transfer window.
