# Tottenham: Report hints at Lautaro Martinez move

**Tottenham have once again been linked with a move for Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.**

### The Lowdown: Summer links

Spurs were looking to bring the Argentina international to north London back in the summer, with [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12376440/lautaro-martinez-tottenham-willing-to-pay-60m-for-inter-milan-and-argentina-striker) suggesting the club were willing to fork out £60m for the striker.

As we know, a move failed to materialise and the 24-year-old has since penned a new deal with Inter until [2026](https://www.marca.com/en/football/serie-a/2021/10/28/617aeb51ca4741522d8b456f.html).

However, Spurs are still thought to be showing an interest ahead of Antonio Conte’s first full season in charge, with [reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/tottenham-hotspur-tuttomercatoweb-lautaro-martinez-update-latest-thfc-transfer-news/) last month claiming Fabio Paratici is ‘at work’ over a summer swoop.

### The Latest: Latest report

[Sports Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/easy-imagine-tottenham-returning-star-striker-already-made-e95m-bid-last-summer/) relayed an update on Martinez from [Gazzetta dello Sport](https://www.gazzetta.it/) on Thursday.

They claimed it is ‘easy to imagine’ that top clubs, including Spurs, will go back in for the forward, suggesting a fee higher than €95m (£80m) may now be required.

### The Verdict: Club-record deal?

Spurs will need to smash their [transfer record](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/transferrekorde/verein/148) to bring Martinez to London, however, it seems as if a move hasn’t been ruled out.

The striker, labelled as a [‘beast’](https://mobile.twitter.com/goal/status/1249618825110269952) by Romelu Lukaku, is on [£180,000-a-week](https://wageindicator.co.uk/pay/vip-celebrity-salary/Lautaro-Martinez), so Paratici would need to convince Daniel Levy and co that it would be worth splashing the cash on the South American, as Conte has already given his [approval](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/tottenham-hotspur-tuttomercatoweb-lautaro-martinez-update-latest-thfc-transfer-news/) to a move.

Central attacking options appear to be needed at the club over the summer to help Harry Kane though, and Martinez certainly ticks the box in terms of quality, already scoring [111](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lautaro-martinez/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/406625) goals during his career for both club and country.
