Real Madrid are making a shock move to trump Barcelona for Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.
Barca and Inter have been haggling over the structure of a fee for Lautaro to the value of his €111m buyout clause.
Sky Italia says Real are in contact with Lautaro's camp and Inter about choosing them over Barca.
The Catalans are now weighing up waiting until July to move for Lautaro - when his buyout clause expires. And the delays could open the door for Real.
Real are in the market for a new striker signing, with PSG pricing No1 target Kylian Mbappe out of an immediate summer move to Madrid.
