Manchester City join Barcelona for the signature of Lautaro with €90m bid incoming

The Citizens view the Inter man as Sergio Aguero's heir while Barca are financially unable to present a better offer.

Manchester City could overtake Barcelona in the race for Lautaro Martinez as they are preparing a €90m offer for the Inter man, not-so-reliable the Sun reveals.

Pep Guardiola views the 23-year-old as the best potential replacement for ageing Sergio Aguero.

As it stands, Barca doesn't have the financial power to enter the bidding war for the Argentinian.

Lautaro had a €111m release clause in his contract which expired in July while Transfermarkt prices him at mere €64m.

According to multiple sources, the Catalans are keeping tabs on Lyon's striker Memphis Depay which would be the 'Plan B' if the Lautaro transfer fails.
