Manchester City could go in search of a new striker in Serie A as they ‘look around to identify the possible heir’ for Sergio Agüero, according to Calciomercato.it.
The Argentine international will be 32 next summer, when he will only have a year left on his contract at the Etihad.
Pep Guardiola’s side have assumed there is no one around like their star, but are aware of the need to plan for life without the former Atlético Madrid man.
It’s claimed the Premier League winners could ‘evaluate’ Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martínez as his compatriot’s successor at the Etihad.
The Nerazzurri player is compared to Agüero in some aspects and is also on Barcelona’s radar as they view him as Luis Suárez’s possible replacement.
Calciomercato states taking Martínez away from San Siro isn’t an easy task as he has a €111m release clause in his contract.
Inter, on the other hand, could either remove the clause or increase it as they are in talks with his representative over extending the player’s contract.
