A new episode of our favorite soap. In recent days, however, the trend seemed to be quite clear in Barcelona: Lautaro Martinez had passed in the list of summer priorities of the reigning Spanish champion. If there was a choice between the Argentinian and Neymar, it was the striker from Inter who seemed to have the priorities of the Catalan squad.

The Blaugrana leaders are ready to do anything to repatriate their old number 11 and will try to exploit to the best of their ability all the possibilities that will present themselves to them in financial terms, which they are therefore not prepared to do with Martinez. The media also mentions the possibility of including players in the operation, who would a priori be players of a higher caliber than those we talk about for Inter, who remain elements with a secondary role like Junior Firpo, Arturo Vidal or Marc Cucurella and Carles Aleñá on loan. You will understand, the Neymar soap opera is far from finished …
