Chelsea and Manchester City are both interested in signing Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez, according to racingdealma.
Lautaro has netted nine goals in all competitions for Inter Milan this term, with the 21-year-old already forcing his way into the Argentina international setup.
Considering the precariousness of Mauro Icardi’s situation at the San Siro, Lautaro may well deem it worthwhile to stay at Inter, but it looks as though he’ll have other offers.
It’s claimed by racingdealma that both Chelsea and Man City are keen, with one of the teams, which hasn’t been named, already making a concrete proposal to sign him.

It seems unlikely that it would be Chelsea, who at the time of writing will be unable to make transfers this summer. City have previously secured transfers outside of the window.
Any interested party will have to cough up €60M to prise him away from Inter, according to the report, which is a figure that both sides would comfortably be able to afford.
Chelsea are certainly in need of a new striker, with Gonzalo Higuain and Olivier Giroud insufficient. Whether the solution will be Lautaro remains to be seen.
