Manchester United still eyeing move for Inter's Martinez

Manchester United are reportedly still interested in signing Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez in the off-season.

United are looking for a frontman to help transform their attack and Argentina sensation Martinez is at the top of their list.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer knows that a deal for the 16-goal striker will be costly and difficult.

ESPN says that the player's preference is to sign for Barcelona, with Paris Saint-Germain also apparently in the hunt as they look to replace the outgoing Edinson Cavani.

United though remain in the hunt for the 22-year-old, although they accept that they may have to wait for Barca to pass on the frontman before they can make a concerted attempt to land the Bahia Blanca-born attacker.

Barca though will not pay the player's €111 million buyout clause and will attempt to lure Inter by offering Arturo Vidal and Nelson Semedo.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
