Arsenal have reportedly been told that they will have to pay €70m (£59m) to sign Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez during this summer's transfer window.
The Argentina international has again been in strong form for his Italian club this season, scoring 16 goals and registering two assists in 39 appearances in all competitions.
Martinez's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, though, with Inter believed to be open to selling him this summer to make room for Juventus attacker Paulo Dybala.
According to Calciomercato, Arsenal have contacted the Italian champions to discuss the South American and have been told that it will cost €70m (£59m) to sign him in the upcoming market.
Martinez, who still has more than four years left to run on his contract at San Siro, is also believed to be a leading transfer target for Atletico Madrid.
Arsenal will be in the market for a couple of new forwards this summer, with Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette both coming to the end of their contracts.
Martinez has scored 65 goals and registered 22 assists in 171 appearances for Inter since making the move from Racing Club in July 2018.
