Inter want to keep Martinez amid interest from Barcelona and Manchester United

Inter have made it clear they will only negotiate Lautaro Martinez's departure this summer if the striker asks to leave, reports Marca.

Martinez has been earmarked as a top transfer target by both Barcelona and United, though the forward would prefer to join the former.

The Argentina international has developed into one of the most sought after young forwards in Europe this season and is now valued more than £100M.

Barcelona are expected to either move to sign Martinez or try and re-sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain this summer but they only have enough money to conclude one of those transfers.

A deal to prise Martinez away from Inter is the more straightforward of the two transfers but the Serie A outfit have no interest in selling the 22-year-old.

Antonio Conte's side are in no rush to sell Martinez, as the Argentine still has three years left to run on his current deal and he will stay unless he requests to leave.

Into his second season at Inter, Martinez has reached double figures in Serie A for the first time (11 goals) and also scored five goals in six appearances in the Champions League group stage, including one at Camp Nou against Barcelona.
