Report: Barcelona end pursuit of Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez

Barcelona have reportedly ended their pursuit of Lautaro Martinez after Inter Milan turned down the Catalan giants' latest offer for the striker.

Argentina international Martinez has been strongly linked with a move to Camp Nou all summer, even more so since Luis Suarez's departure to Atletico Madrid last week.

Ronald Koeman refused to rule out a move for the 23-year-old at the weekend, but Calciomercato claims that a deal is now off the table.

Inter are rumoured to have rejected each cash proposal from Barca, as well as a possible player-plus-cash transfer, and the La Liga club will now turn their focus elsewhere.

Barca, who beat Villarreal 4-0 in Koeman's first game in charge on Sunday, are also known to hold an interest in Lyon forward Memphis Depay.
