Barcelona ready to shake-up Lautaro talks with Griezmann proposal

Barcelona are ready to shake-up negotiations with Inter Milan for striker Lautaro Martinez.

The Argentina international is their priority to replace veteran centre-forward Luis Suarez and they've been in talks with Inter for months over terms.

However, with cashflow a problem, Barca have struggled to reach an agreement with the Nerazzurri, despite offering a raft of fringe players in part-exchange.

TMW says the board is now ready to make the radical switch of including last summer's €120m signing Antoine Griezmann in exchange for Lautaro.

The deal could be simply a straight swap, with Inter insisting Lautaro would only leave for his original €111m buyout clause.

There would remain the stumbling block of Griezmann himself, however, with the attacker needing to be convinced about moving to Italy and Inter.
