Martinez is seen as the perfect successor to Luis Suarez's number nine spot in the side.
Since joining from Liverpool, Suarez has scored 139 goals in five years at Barcelona.
But the Uruguayan turns 33 in January and the club are readying themselves for a new chapter.
Suarez recently publicly acknowledged the fact that Barça were searching for a striker.
The 22-year-old Martinez is at the other end of the playing-career spectrum and Barça are reportedly ready to swoop.
According to Sport, Barcelona's director of football Eric Abidal met with Inter Milan officials this week to discuss the striker's contract.
Martinez is understood to have a €111 million release clause that Barcelona would have to come pretty close to matching.
"Yes, he is a complete player, I think he is performing at a great level," he said.
"He is a player we know, there are other players who also have a lot of quality.
"I know Barça, I know what adaptation is like, but I don't pay much attention to the player who plays every weekend, I look at others."
