A graduate of Racing Club’s youth set-up, Martinez relocated to Inter Milan last summer and would go on to make 35 appearances for the Nerazzurri, scoring nine goals.
His present deal expires in June 2023 and following speculation of Barça monitoring him, the powers that be in Milan refuted any bid from Spain.
It remains to be seen whether a move happens this summer following the recent acquisition of Antoine Griezmann, but they are following him as his representative Yaque confirms.
