Inter Milan has responded to recent reports that link it to seek to sign Lionel Messi, the Barcelona star, who made the decision to leave the “blaugrana”, and recently missed his team’s training, in a clear sign of fulfilling your wish.
“We are not going to sign with Messi, and I do not know where these crazy rumors come from,” said Pero Osilo, Inter Milan’s sports director, in a statement highlighted by Sky Sports on Tuesday.
The recent crisis of Messi and Barcelona is expected to witness an important chapter to resolve the future of the 33-year-old player who wants to leave Barça, at a time when the Barça administration confirms that the only way to leave is to pay its penalty clause (700 million euros).
In the last period witnessed, the Argentine star announced his desire to leave Barcelona, amid reports that he is approaching to move to Manchester City and return to work with Catalan manager Pep Guardiola.

Asked about the possibility of signing for Artur Vidal, the Barça star, he said: “We like Arturo, but now he plays for Barcelona, and if Barça wants him to leave in reasonable conditions, we will try to sign him.”
Regarding Lautaro Martínez, the star of Inter, and the reports that linked him to his departure to Barcelona, he explained: “We never started official talks with Barcelona for Laotaro, and the day after his exit clause expired, we considered it off the market, it’s over ”.
Lautaro is at the top of the club’s goal list during the current Summer Mercato, as the management expressed a great desire to obtain the player’s signature to be the successor of Uruguayan Luis Suárez, whom his Dutch coach Ronald Koeman told him he was off his accounts next season.
Lautaro has a contract with Inter Milan that runs until 2023, and the value of his penalty clause, which ended last July, is 111 million euros, so the Italian giant can claim any economic value in exchange for giving up the services of Lautaro Martínez.
