Inter and Barcelona are reportedly plotting a return to Italy for Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo to allow Lautaro Martinez his proposed move to Camp Nou.

The Argentine’s ongoing transfer saga could now involve a sensational return to Italy for Manchester City defender Cancelo, according to the Corriere dello Sport.

The newspaper claims Inter have identified the former Juventus right-back as the perfect fit for Antonio Conte’s side and would help the Blaugrana reduce the €111m price tag set by Lautaro’s contract at San Siro.

Barcelona will have to trigger the release clause in his current deal with the Nerazzurri, but the Portuguese wing-back could be the key to help the Catalans get their man.

Such an operation would therefore involve Inter, Barcelona and Premier League side Manchester City, with the report suggesting Nélson Semedo will be the third player involved.

According to the newspaper, Semedo, who has been valued at €50m before the forced break, could be exchanged with Cancelo and move to the Citizens. His compatriot would then virtually replace him at Camp Nou before immediately moving to Milan and help Barca eventually get the Argentine 22-year-old.
