"30 million for Lisandro Martinez"

Inter Milan has begun negotiations to sign Lisandro Martínez by making a formal offer of 30 million euros to Manchester United for the January market. The next goal of the Nerazzurri is to strengthen their defensive rotation, and the Argentine center-back has become a market opportunity due to his contractual situation.

According to TEAMtalk sources, the Italian board aims to finalize the arrival of the Argentine international to bolster their defense, taking advantage of the fact that the player's contract at Old Trafford expires in June 2027.

Lisandro Martínez's Fit in Inter Milan's Tactical Scheme

Cristian Chivu sees the 28-year-old defender as an ideal fit for the three-center-back system used by the Lombard squad. His natural left foot allows him to play as a stopper on the left flank or as a central libero, providing clean ball distribution and aggressive anticipation off the ball.

His potential addition to Inter Milan would facilitate rotation with players like Yan Bisseck, Manuel Akanji, John Stones, and Benjamin Pavard. Furthermore, the arrival of the center-back would pave the way for the exit of Alessandro Bastoni in the summer transfer market of 2027, given the interest shown by various Premier League clubs. Barcelona also remains keen on the Italian center-back to enhance Hansi Flick's defensive rotation.

Manchester United's Position and Competition with Atlético de Madrid

The player joined Manchester United in July 2022 for 57.4 million euros and has played 38 official matches for the Argentine national team. His current market value stands at 45 million euros on Transfermarkt, surpassing the 40 million euros offered by Atlético de Madrid in the last summer transfer window of 2026.

Despite Inter Milan's planned 30 million euro proposal for the winter transfer window, the player's camp will not make a definitive decision before New Year's, foreseeing that his departure will not materialize until the end of the current season. The Italian club's emissaries will remain in contact with the player's representatives during November and December of 2026.

Should Manchester United reject the 30 million euro offer in January, Inter Milan will reschedule negotiations for the summer market with the aim of acquiring the Argentine on a free transfer. The main issue is the interest generated by the Argentine in other clubs like Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona.
