Melo backing Lautaro Martinez for Barcelona move

Former Inter Milan midfielder Felipe Melo is backing Lautaro Martinez for a move to Barcelona.

Martinez is a top summer target for Barca this summer.

“I know him because I support Inter in Italy, at 32 I realised the dream of playing there even if I had been at Juventus previously," Melo told Olé.

“Lautaro is a player who, in addition to working a lot for the team even without the ball like Gabriel Jesus, scores many goals.

“He is a forward for the future for me. He has strength and power and I like him.

“I would like to see Lautaro at Barcelona, who now has Suarez who is among the best strikers in the world. Imagine them two, plus Messi and Neymar."
