Manchester United are interested in signing Lautaro Martinez from Inter Milan this summer, but are worried that the Argentine striker has his heart set on joining Barcelona. That's according to Spanish outlet SPORT, which claims Paris Saint-Germain are also in the race for the striker's signature.

They won't have it all their own way, however, as PSG have entered into the race to sign him.
The French giants are also on the hunt for a new striker as Edinson Cavani will be leaving on a free.
The veteran Uruguayan will be leaving at the end of his contract, and with Neymar also tipped to leave, a new striker is at the top of the Ligue 1 champions' shopping list.
Mauro Icardi has been at PSG on loan from Inter, though there are doubts that his stay will be made permanent.

And for that reason, Martinez is being looked at as a potential target, as the French giants look to pip Barcelona to his signature.
United remain lurking in the shadows, according to SPORT, but are concerned that he isn't interested in signing for them.
They apparently believe that Barcelona are leading the way and can't be caught unless something drastic changes.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are expected to wrap up a deal to sign Jadon Sancho in the upcoming window, and are unlikely to have enough money left over to beat Barcelona and PSG to Martinez.
