According to a report from the Manchester Evening News, Inter Milan has set a price tag of £69.5 million for Lautaro Martinez, who is a target for both Chelsea and Manchester United.
Both the Premier League clubs are in search of a proven goalscorer for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
The 25-year-old is under contract with Inter Milan until 2026, and the Serie A side is demanding a substantial fee to allow him to leave.
He has been in impressive form this season, scoring 25 goals in 52 appearances, including a crucial goal against AC Milan in the Champions League.

Incoming Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino is keen on bringing Martinez to Stamford Bridge to address their goal-scoring issues.
United also seeks to bolster their attacking options and has prioritized a move for Harry Kane. However, they are closely monitoring Martinez’s situation as the end of the season approaches.
However, signing an established striker comes with issues, including the high transfer fees and competition from other wealthy clubs.
United is also interested in Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries, the talented Dutch full-back, who has caught the attention of manager Erik ten Hag. The gaffer would plot a move for the Dutch star this summer.
