According to a report from InterNews.it via Man City Xtra, representatives of Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez and Manchester City met in London to discuss potential terms in bringing the Argentine to Eastlands – with the Sky Blues looking like they’ll have to pay a €111m (£94.3m) release clause for his signature.

Martinez, who has bagged eight goals in 14 starts for the San Siro side in the Italian first division so far this campaign, has been drawing attention from numerous top clubs in Europe.
Now, according to this latest report, City could be leading the way for his signature in their bid to land a potential successor to legend Sergio Aguero.
Gabriel Jesus, who recently scored multiple goals in the encounters against Burnley and Dinamo Zagreb, will need competition in the future – with Martinez seeming, for now, like a safe bet.
Supporters on Twitter also reacted ecstatically to the news – here’s what they had to say.
