The Blues are reportedly interested in signing 22 year old Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez this summer and are ready to compete with Barcelona for his signature.
However, Premier League rivals Manchester City are also said to be interested in the Argentine goal machine.
According to Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti, Martinez will remain an Inter Milan player despite interest in the 22 year old striker.
“Of the talents that have emerged, Lautaro is certainly among the best,” Zanetti told Radio Continental.
“Today I see his future in Italian football. He is one of the interesting players of Argentine football.”
