Inter Milan looking to shield Lautaro Martinez with bigger release clause as the Nerazurri prepare an extension for the Argentine.

Martinez has been in his best of forms this season and in-turn attracted so much interest from elite teams as Barcelona but Inter Milan are really not ready to let go so soon.

The Italian giant managed to break their 49-years Camp Nou spell only by the help of Martinez who Barcelona now views as best replacement for ageing Luis Suarez.

Inter Milan now preparing to hand the 22-year-old an extension which would include a larger release clause as a strategy to wave off Barcelona interest despite having acquired the striker for €20m.

Milan knows Barcelona are willing to pay Lautaro’s current release clause of €111m provided he remains good but they do not want to loose for less amount so now planning a contract extension that involves a broader release clause.

Lautaro has managed to net 13 goals and 3 assists for Inter Milan across 19 games for the club this season.
