Former Inter star Diego Milito has argued it would be an ‘excellent opportunity’ for Lautaro Martinez to play at Barcelona with Lionel Messi.

Milito, who scored a brace when Inter beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League Final in 2010, has claimed the 22-year-old is already at San Siro because of his proven qualities, but suggested that the possibility of partnering Messi at Barca could tempt the youngster.

“He’s at Inter because he is a great player,” Milito told Movistar. “He is fine with the Nerazzurri but playing at Barcelona, with Messi, would be an excellent opportunity.

“I have heard many voices and I don’t know what will happen. Lautaro is complete, he’s doing brilliant things.”
