Real Madrid remains without an arrowhead going into the new La Liga season following the departure of captain and forward Karim Benzema.

The La Liga giants have been linked to a few names including Harry Kane, Dusan Vlahovic, and PSG’s Kylian Mbappe.

However, the name of Inter’s forward Lautaro Martinez has recently made headlines after it appears the deal to close the signing for PSG’s Mbappe could drag on for longer than expected.

The forward’s agent though has come to clear the air on the player’s chances of joining the Spanish club.

Martinez’s agent on Madrid transfer

Martinez’s agent, Alejandro Camano took time to respond to talks linking his representative with a move to Madrid.

Camano said, as quoted by Madrid Universal on Twitter:

"Real Madrid? It's one of the biggest teams in the world and any player would love to play there, but Lautaro is very happy at Inter Milan and it's a team he loves very much."

Camano also took time to talk about the club’s confidence in the player staying:

"Inter knows that Lautaro is very happy here and we have time to talk about the future. Lautaro is one of the three best centre forwards in the world, but he's an Inter man and he's very happy here. He's calm. Inter is the team of my heart."

Earlier reports from Spanish publication Sport had reported that Madrid are preparing to reach out to Inter Milan to find out their asking price for the forward.

Martinez would be a wonderful addition to Carlo Ancelotti’s team given the club are in dire need of a forward. It remains to be seen if the Italian club will be ready to entertain any offers for their captain.
