Former Argentina international Mario Kempes believes that Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez should not pass up the opportunity to join Barcelona this summer.

Former Argentina international Mario Kempes believes that Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez should not pass up the opportunity to join Barcelona.

The 22-year-old has been persistently linked with a move to Camp Nou following an impressive campaign for Antonio Conte's side prior to the coronavirus suspension.

Martinez has registered 16 goals from 31 appearances this season, and former World Cup winner Kempes has claimed that a move to Barcelona would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his compatriot.

Speaking to Tuttomercato, Kempes said: "The train only passes once and, although he is at a world-renowned team in Inter, Barcelona are totally different.

"Lautaro has shown in the last two years that he is a great No.9. He has shown that with Inter and Argentina.

"It would be great if he could play with Lionel Messi. Staying at Inter could also be good for him and he would gain experience.

"But it could be a good chance if he wants to go to Barcelona and Inter are willing to sell him for a good amount."

Recent reports have suggested that Inter Milan players are expecting Martinez to move to Catalonia this summer.
