Barcelona are rumoured to be on the hunt for a new striker as their own Luis Suarez turns 33 this January.
There are growing concerns over the Uruguayan's ability to maintain consistent goalscoring form that matches that of previous seasons.
There were rumours of Kylian Mbappe or Harry Kane being targeted by the La Liga champions.
However, it's now believed Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez has been identified as a potential signing, according to Tuttosport (via Sempre Inter).
The Argentinian striker joined Inter in 2018 for a fee of £12.6m from Racing Club.
Martinez has a contract with Inter until 2023, but the Serie A giants are concerned by his current release clause which stands at £95.3m.
The 22-year-old has scored five goals and contributed two assists in ten games for Inter so far this season.
It's reported that his form has been good enough to earn him a performance-based salary increase.
The club are reportedly due to hold talks with the player's agent Beto Yaque 'in the coming days' to discuss a new deal.
