Barcelona considering move for World Cup winner as Lewandowski replacement in 2025 | OneFootball

In an intriguing development, reports from Inter Live indicate that Barcelona are considering a move for Lautaro Martinez in the summer transfer window of 2025.

Although the Argentinian is under contract with Inter until 2029, discussions about his potential departure have surfaced once again and it appears that the possibility of him leaving in the upcoming summer cannot be completely dismissed.

In recent times, there have been ongoing speculations regarding the South American forward possibly joining a prominent European club and now, the current stance of Inter Milan’s management seems to have evolved.

In fact, sources suggest that Inter may be more open to allowing their captain to leave than previously thought.

Lewandowski’s replacement

It is said that Joan Laporta is keen on moving on from Robert Lewandowski next summer. Although Lewandowski’s contract runs until 2026, he will turn 37 in August 2025, which adds a layer of urgency to Barcelona’s plans.

Additionally, there are growing rumours about potential offers from the Saudi Pro League that could tempt him away from Barcelona.

The club is exploring various options to find a suitable successor for Lewandowski, and Martinez is at the top of their list.

Laporta views Martinez as the ideal replacement for Lewandowski, and it appears that he is ready to initiate talks with the management at Inter Milan.

There is no urgency

At this moment, any potential negotiations will likely be postponed until the end of the current season and the outcomes of the respective campaigns for both clubs could heavily influence their decisions in the transfer market.

Interestingly, recent reports suggest that Inter may be open to parting with Martinez if the right offer comes in. This comes on the back of his struggle to score this season, going without a goal for 12 matches, including the tail end of last year.

This lack of form might contribute to Inter’s willingness to consider a sale, especially if they receive an appealing bid from Barcelona.

As the summer of 2025 approaches, all eyes will be on how this potential transfer saga unfolds, with fans eager to see if Martinez will make the move to La Liga.
