Chelsea targeting Lautaro Martinez as Inter Milan make Romelu Lukaku transfer 'priority'

Chelsea have reportedly set their sights on Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been identified as an option to help bolster the Blues' attack, as manager Thomas Tuchel bids to add further forward firepower and build on a third-place finish last season as well as two domestic cup finals. The Athletic report that alongside highly sought-after RB Leipzig hotshot Christopher Nkunku, Martinez is under consideration after the club's takeover was confirmed.

A move to Stamford Bridge would seemingly reunite him with ex-Inter striker partner Romelu Lukaku. However, reports from Italy claim that the Nerazzurri have made the Chelsea man - who recently split with his agent - their priority transfer target, meaning it could be a sliding doors moment as the pair swap employers.
