With Luis Suárez not at the peak of his powers anymore, rumours of Barça considering a possible replacement for ‘El Pistolero’ are pretty much spreading like wildfire.
Barça seem to have been studying the market very closely as well. However, one player that has been linked with the club quite heavily for the past few months and has constantly been making the headlines is Inter’s rising star, Lautaro Martínez.
Barça’s interest in the youngster seemingly began towards the end of last summer and is apparently still ongoing. But the question on everyone’s mind is; does Barça truly require the services of young Lautaro?
Many Barça fans are unhappy with Martinez’ potential transfer to the Nou Camp, but those who oppose this transfer are also the ones who are unfamiliar with the Argentine.
The signing of Neymar Jr is the dream of every Barça fan and players including the likes of Lionel Messi. But with Barcelona really struggling financially in this moment of time with debts exceeding €500M, the ridiculous price tag PSG have put on Neymar doesn’t help matters.
Lautaro Martínez, nicknamed ‘The Bull’, has been taking the Serie A by storm under Conte’s guidance. He is known for possessing a very versatile profile due to his ability to operate as a no 9 and a secondary striker, while he can even offer his services on both wings.
Currently, the Albiceleste international has been working alongside Lukaku in attack under a 3–5–2 system. He’s been extremely vigilant with his positioning as Conte seems to be getting the best version out of him.
The 22-year-old has a wonderful eye for goal and giving him the slightest of spaces in the final third could prove to be suicidal. He can shoot from any angle, making life tough for opposition defenders.
Even so, what makes him truly stand out and worthy of being a Suárez replacement is his brilliant work ethic. During build-ups he can drop deep, open up spaces for others and draw defenders out of position. He can work well under pressure and create opportunities out of nowhere.
Against Barça, fans saw him help his team create quick transitions even when they had limited possession. As Inter are accustomed to building a solid foundation from the back and almost immediately providing the ball forward, Martínez is extremely cautious of his surroundings.
The ex-Racing Club man has the awareness of a hawk. Identifying spaces, reaching out to his partners in crime and finding the back of the net in exquisite fashion is what makes him such a shining prospect. Anyone that arrives at Barcelona needs to be solid in tight areas.
Well, Lautaro has nothing to worry about that either, simply due to his strong physicality and eagle eyed vision.
He sees an opening, he utilises it; no lapses of concentration or hesitation is involved in his gameplay which is incredible to see.

He has an impressive 23 G/A so far this season in 2259 minutes, with an average rating of 7.12.
Alongside his strike partner Lukaku, the two have establishing themselves as one of Europe’s most deadliest duos
No doubt in a far stronger attack he could exceed expectations.

And to conclude, chemistry is something that Argentinian squad as a whole really lack, and poor team communication and link-up has been the cause of their failure many times in the past.
A strong connection and between Leo and Lautaro would not only thrive at Barça, but also on an international level with Argentina, this attacking duo has potential to prosper with both teams on the highest level.
