Barcelona contacts Lautaro Martínez as Lewandowski replacement

FC Barcelona have opened contacts with the representatives of Lautaro Martínez as they search for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski. The club is looking to fill the striker position ahead of the upcoming season.

Inter Milan consider Martínez non‑transferable and have confirmed that the Argentine forward is under contract until 2029. The Italian side has publicly ruled out any immediate move.

Lewandowski’s departure leaves a void in Barcelona’s attacking line‑up, prompting the Catalan giants to explore high‑profile options. The club’s scouting department is reportedly focusing on proven goal‑scorers.

Lautaro Martínez is an Argentine forward who currently plays for Inter Milan in Serie A. He has established himself as a key player in the Italian club’s offense.

If Barcelona were to secure Martínez, it would represent a significant shift in the European transfer market, linking two of the continent’s biggest clubs. The move could also influence other clubs’ strategies for the summer window.

Inter’s firm stance on keeping Martínez may complicate any potential negotiation, as Barcelona would need to meet the contract terms that run to 2029. The clubs have not yet entered formal talks.

Barcelona indicated that they will continue to explore alternatives while monitoring the situation closely. Further developments are expected as the transfer window approaches.
