He's Messi's best friend and won the World Cup with him, now he would join a European giant

Lautaro Martínez closes the year as the Argentine National Team footballer with the most goals scored above Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez. Although his goal was closed with the Albiceleste, the truth is that with Inter Milan he was relentless throughout 2023 and this is reflected in the Nerazzurri's position in Serie A: leader with four units ahead of his escort, Juventus.

El Toro is the top scorer in the Italian championship with 15 goals in 17 games, six more than his closest pursuer, Domenico Berardi. Along the same lines, in the Champions League they qualified for the round of 16 after finishing with 12 points, although unfortunately for them they advanced as second in the group due to goal difference.

Now, Lautaro's great year allowed him to finish as the highest-rated Argentine by the Transfermarkt portal. This site recently updated Martínez's price and his new price is nothing more and nothing less than 110 million euros, only surpassed by Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Bukayo Saka and Vinicius Junior. Now, despite his high price, a European giant took a strong interest in the native of Bahía Blanca.

According to 'El Crack Deportivo', the Bavarian team will try to sign Toro to form an attacking duo with Harry Kane, based on how well he has done with forwards such as Romelu Lukaku or Marcus Thuram. However, this will not be easy not only because of his cost, but because Lautaro's desire is to stay at Inter at all costs, to the point that he wants to sign a new long-term contract.
