Chelsea Linked with Move for Lautaro Martinez but Fans Are Unconvinced

• Chelsea fans came out with mixed reactions after the club was linked with a move for Lautaro Martinez
• Martinez is teammates with Chelsea loanee Romelu Lukaku at Inter Milan
• Mauricio Pochettino, who has been linked with the Chelsea job, is said to be a huge admirer of the Argentine

Chelsea have been linked with a sensational move for Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez, but sections of fans are not convinced he would be a good signing.

Martinez, 25, will be made available by Inter Milan for a reported fee of £70million in the summer.

The World Cup winner is highly favoured by Mauricio Pochettino, who is likely to take over as Chelsea manager in the summer.

With Inter set to offload several players to free up some funds, it is highly likely Martinez will be among those who leave the San Siro, and FootballInsider reports that Chelsea are well placed to land him.

This is despite the fact that the Blues have a loanee, Romelu Lukaku, currently at Inter and playing alongside Martinez.

Manchester United are also said to be interested in the striker, who has bagged 19 goals and five assists in the Serie A this season, according to Transfermkt.

Across all competitions this campaign, the Argentine has scored 23 times in 48 appearances.

Fans divided over Martinez move

On social media, fans had varying reactions to the Lautaro Martinez-Chelsea links.

“Pochettino must pause on the purchases. He must trim the squad and make the most of the current players”

@Jodo97 declared:

"He'd be 3rd target, behind Oshimen and Toney for me. We're obviously not going to be able to get Oshimen. I think we should just accept Toney ban and get him though,”
