Barcelona: 3 signings that Quique Setien could make in 2020
By Kian Long
2. Lautaro Martinez (Internazionale)
The next possible transfer that Quique Setien could make this summer is Lautaro Martinez, of Internazionale. The Argentine forward has been getting a lot of attention this season and rightly so.
Martinez is an exceptional dribbler of the ball and, in many ways, he reminds me of Lionel Messi. We all know Messi is superior, I shouldn’t need to say that, but their playing styles are remarkably similar which Barcelona fans will like.
Martinez has a low centre of gravity and incredible touch. He remains calm in sticky situations and he likes to get his teammates involved in the action as much as possible. Given his height, you would think he is not the most physical player but he is surprisingly strong in one-on-one situations.
Martinez would likely come in as a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez. Ageing at 22 years old, he is already racking up the appearances in Italy and there is talk that he could become a first-team star in Barcelona as well.
Quique Setien is a big fan of Lautaro Martinez, as am I. That said, I would love to see him don the Blaugrana jersey.
But who could join Martinez and Neymar? Well, there’s only one man…
