Lautaro Martinez has become the subject of transfer interest by Tottenham in this transfer window as the Lilywhites continue to bolster their squad.
The Argentine striker helped Inter Milan to win the Italian league title last season and he is one of their key players.
However, the Italians need money to balance their books and selling him would go a long way in helping them remain financially positive.
The Daily Mail says some reports have suggested that Tottenham has reached an agreement to sign him for £60million because Nuno Espirito Santo wants to pair him and Harry Kane in a two-pronged attack.
However, his agent has now denied such rumours and insists that the striker is happy in Milan with the Italian champions.
Alejandro Camano admits that there are offers for his service from clubs around Europe, but at the moment, he is only focused on playing for Inter Milan.
Camano said as quoted by the same report: ‘Lautaro is an Inter player and is happy in Italy. His decision is to stay.
‘The relationship with Inter is perfect. Lautaro Martinez is calm. Yes, it is true that there were offers, but today he is fine and we will sit down to talk about the future.’
However, when asked about the terms of his new contract with Inter, Camano said: ‘The renewal? Lautaro is from Inter, he will never enter into conflict with the club. Never, this is reality.’
Dybala never agreed terms. He was open to us and United before, but it was his complicated image rights what scuppered both deals… So it was his camp rather than Levy… It’s a shame Martinez wants to stay. And that Lukaku is a chav again. They are strong now.
Shame, he’s a great little player in the Michael Owen mould.
He ain’t signing for us. ‘Tottenham ARE close’ Bruce. Ffs please mate stop it 😩
As long as it isn’t a pipe dream then pursue him, ideal first choice – but if it isn’t a goer then we need to move on quick, otherwise seems a smokescreen or a fantasy
It’s a fair point.
Just, as I point out above. Juventus accepted a bid, Dybala agreed terms, we still managed to not sign the player.
Now we get a “bid accepted” story, and within 1 hour, “Lukaku move ruins Tottenham bid despite Tottenham agreeing fee much earlier”
It’s classic Levy. And, unfortunately, it’s classic Tottenham.
Can I just ask, IF Martinez is the FIRST choice & IF as rumoured THFC have submitted a bid which also was rumoured to have been accepted, is it now ok should they not secure him with settling for 2nd/3rd choice instead, seeing as so many have had a problem with that in the past?
For all Mr.Levy’s PAST c*ck-up’s, attempting to sign the striker of choice shouldn’t be immediately held against him, when most THFC fans/supporters have been willing the club to be active & bring quality players in.
We can’t have it both ways!
Dybala II

This has all the hallmarks of ‘the one that got away’ – like the Milan defender last season.
Need to not get transfixed on this and then allow Arsenal to sign another striker who we actually had a realistic chance of singing…I feel a Levy classic cock up about this forward signing chase.
