Racing president Blanco can see Lautaro joining Barcelona: And he'll be a starter!

Racing de Avellaneda president Víctor Blanco can see Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez moving to Barcelona.

Blanco oversaw the sale of Lautaro to Inter.

He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I have no doubts. His capacity to adapt and rise to the top level was surprising. When he went from the youth team to the first team, when he went to Europe, even with Argentina. Maybe he will need some months to adapt, but that happens with all players.

"I think if he goes, he will be a starter in no time. He's a born winner. We have to consider he's 22 as well. In comparison with Suarez, who's a crack, he has that advantage. In football, the youngsters eventually replace the more experienced players. Obviously it's his decision, if he's convinced that he has to take that step, only he knows. He's not a kid acting on impulse, if he's convinced, I am sure that he will be OK. If he feels he's still not ready, he will stay at Inter."
