Inter Milan would reportedly accept an offer of £69.5m for Lautaro Martinez this summer amid interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.

Inter Milan would reportedly accept an offer of £69.5m for Lautaro Martinez this summer, with Manchester United and Chelsea both interested in his services.

The 25-year-old has been in impressive form for Inter during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring 25 goals and registering 10 assists in 52 appearances in all competitions.

Martinez has 20 goals and six assists in 35 Serie A outings, while he has managed three goals and three assists in 10 Champions League appearances, with the Milan giants reaching the final of the competition.

Both Man United and Chelsea are said to be keen on the Argentina international, who has another three years left to run on his contract at San Siro.

Inter vice-president Javier Zanetti has played down reports that Martinez could leave the club during this summer's transfer window.

Inter CEO Guiseppe Marotta has also suggested that Martinez will not be departing this summer, but the Italian club's financial problems could lead to them being forced into a sale.

According to Football Insider, Inter would allow the Argentine to depart during the upcoming market if they received an offer in the region of £69.5m.

The report claims that incoming Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino is a huge admirer of Martinez and is keen to bring him to Stamford Bridge this summer.

However, the London club's absence from the 2023-24 Champions League is likely to cost them the chance to sign the South American.

Man United will also be in the market for a big-name striker this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane said to be their leading target.

However, the 20-time English champions will not be drawn into a long-running saga when it comes to the England captain, with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy expected to resist a sale to a domestic rival.

Martinez made the move to Inter from Racing Club in July 2018, and he has represented the Serie A club on 233 occasions, scoring 99 goals and registering 34 assists in the process.

The forward has also turned out for Argentina on 48 occasions, scoring 21 times, and he turned out for his country on six occasions at the 2022 World Cup.

There could be huge changes in the Inter attack this summer, as Romelu Lukaku is set to return to parent club Chelsea at the end of the season, while Edin Dzeko only has a contract until June 30.
