Barcelona has agreed on personal terms with Inter Milan striker, Lautaro Martinez, ESPN reports.
However, the LaLiga champions have to sell Philippe Coutinho, to raise money for the transfer fee.
Also, although Martinez has reached a verbal agreement with Barca, any move depends on Inter agreeing to sell the Argentina international.
Negotiations over a transfer are ongoing but have been hampered in recent months by the COVID-19 outbreak, which has seen Barca strike €200million from their budget for next season.
The Spanish giants had been hopeful of including players in any potential deal to bring the cost down, but Inter would prefer cash.
Therefore, Barca's hopes of landing Martinez this summer hinges on sales, with club-record signing Coutinho identified as the player that could bring in the most money.
