Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez has a "big chance" of joining Lionel Messi at Barcelona this summer, one of his agents has said.

The Argentine is a top target for the Catalan club as they seek a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez and the 22-year-old has a €111 million release clause.

"There's a very big chance Lautaro goes to Barca," Sergio Zarate told Fox Sports Mexico.

"He is a fantastic player. Tremendous, he has no ceiling."

And when it was put to the former striker, brother of Boca Juniors attacker Mauro Zarate, that he should join Real Madrid and not Barca, he replied: "You know that it's them who will have their say. The one who decides is the player.

"With Leo there, I believe there is a bigger chance that he will want to go to the side of the greatest of them all (Messi)."

Martinez has scored 16 goals in 31 appearances for Inter in all competitions this season.
