DO WE EVEN NEED TO SIGN A CF ?
NO. We don& #39;t, we& #39;ve already got Griezmann, Suarez and Braithwaite who can as CFs and rather we should spend the money in improving our fragile defence and sign proper wingers. But as the board is adamant to sign one, Let& #39;s compare them !

GENERAL PROFILE.
Werner is 24 yrs old, 1.81 m tall and a Right Footed forward whereas Lautaro turns 23 in August, 1.74 m tall and Right Footed as well.
Incidentally both have a market value of 64 mil currently with their career high being 80 mil.

POSITION.
While we& #39;ve only seen Lautaro play in a 2 Forward system, Werner can be seen in a lot of different positions due to the tactical changes Nagelsmann makes in every match. He can play as CF, LW and a SS whereas Lautaro only as a CF.

Werner has scored 30 goals in 38 games- a Goal every 100 mins, 25 via Right and 5 via Left foot (3 from outside the box) whereas Lautaro has 16 Goals in 31 matches- a Goal every 152 mins, 11 via Right and 2 via Left foot along with 3 headers (2 from oustide the box).

Easier to score in Bundesliga myth..
Yes it is true that Serie A is a much more defensive league and Werner plays in a much more fluid system but Immobile has more than 1 goal/game ratio and a 36 yr old Quagliarella scored 26 last season. Lautaro even has less goals than Lukaku.

PASSING.
This is probably Lautaro& #39;s weakest trait. While Werner has attempted 991 passes (77% completion rate) including 53 key passes and 27 crosses, Lautaro has attempted just 403 passes (61% completion rate) with 27 key passes and 0 crosses which is poor and astounding.

SHOTS.
Werner has attempted 108 shots with 65 (60%) being on target with a conversion rate of 28% where as Lautaro has attempted 82 shots with 48 (59%) being on target with a conversion rate of 19%.
Werner probably has more shots because his team creates much more chances.

DUELS.
Werner has succeeded in 56/90 dribbles (62%) and 12/22 tackles (55%) where as Lautaro has succeeded in 35/74 dribbles (47%) and 6/22 tackles (27%).
Remember that Werner also has more pace than Lautaro. So the German is clearly better in this aspect.

DEFENSIVE PROWESS.
Werner has 5 interceptions and 4 clearances where as Martinez has 14 interceptions and 16 clearances. Also Lautaro is the first line of defence for Inter and excellent in pressurizing opposition defenders. Werner not that good here.

OTHER CHARACTERISTICS.
Werner has electric pace and can easily beat defenders and rarely gets dispossessed but his aerial game is very average.
Lautaro on the other hand has a great aerial game and physicality but gets dispossessed often.

ADAPTATION.
Since Werner plays for a better possession based team, his transition to Barca will be much easier and he can easily exploit the spaces vacated by Messi and our winger, much like David Villa.
Can Martinez even thrive in a one forward system, we simply don& #39;t know !

General Overview of Stats.
Lautaro Martinez vs Timo Werner.
Lautaro Martinez vs Timo Werner.
PRICE.
Werner- 60 mil.
Lautaro- 111 mil.
This is ridiculous. The difference in price is 51 mil and Inter don& #39;t want to reduce it even after the crisis.
That extra 51 mil can be very useful as we can sign both Upamecano and Dest for a combined 60 mil and improve the defence.
