In an ambitious trade involving three out-of-favor players, Chelsea may try to recruit Lautaro Martinez, the 27-year-old captain of Inter Milan, next year. Inter Live, an Italian publication, has reported that Chelsea is still interested in Lautaro Martinez. Next year, Inter Milan will demand almost €100 million in order to let go of the 27-year-old attacker.
This season, the Argentine international has been sluggish to get going, as he has only scored one goal in his first two games after leading the Nerazzurri to the Serie A title the previous season. Though Chelse is one of Lautaro Martinez’s potential suitors for the summer transfer window of 2025, his stock on the market is still high.

Chelsea had already considered signing a new striker because they were dissatisfied with Nicolas Jackson’s play. This summer, they made a concerted effort to sign highly-regarded Victor Osimhen, but the transaction fell through for budgetary reasons.
The Blues wish to keep their options open, even though Osimhen might still be acquired next season. Lautaro Martinez is one of the names in the market that draws people in. He has a lot of experience and a solid reputation. His inclusion in the team will undoubtedly aid in achieving more goals up front.
Inter Milan, meanwhile, is anticipated to ask for about €100 million in exchange for the striker. Chelsea wants to offer Carney Chukwuemeka, Mykhailo Mudryk, and Benoit Badiashile in exchange to make the signing more viable.
