After 7 years of hibernation, Atletico finally won the La Liga title with the help of Barcelona. While retaining the meritorious player Suarez, the team also hopes to further upgrade the strength of the front line, targeting the Serie A dominant Inter Milan's front line general Lautaro.
Gazzetta dello Sport has revealed that Lautaro's transfer deal may spark a Madrid derby fiasco, after all Real Madrid are also in love with the Argentine starlet.
Previously, Barcelona also showed strong interest in Lautaro and were willing to use Pjanic, who moved from Juventus last season, as a bargaining chip. However, with the signing of Messi's close friend Aguero on a two-year contract, there is no room for a third Argentine player.
Lautaro has changed agents in recent months, with the glory of the Serie A title making him eager for a new challenge.
Real Madrid have reportedly made a €60 million offer for the Inter Milan striker, while the Argentine international is even valued at €70 million on the German transfer website, which may be exactly what Atletico Madrid are offering.
