Javier Saviola has spoken about Barça's interest in signing the Inter man

Barcelona's interest in signing Lautaro Martinez is on everyone's lips but Inter are resisting selling and will fight hard for a big fee if they do. 

The player is keen to move to Camp Nou, where he would join up with Argentine teammate Lionel Messi, but the clubs need to come to an agreement first. 

Former Barça and Argentina player Javier Saviola has been speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport about the situation. 

"[Lautaro] could be useful for Barcelona," he said, but he had a warning: "Honestly, he could be useful, but we know what it means to be alongside Suarez, Messi and other big stars. What I am saying is it's not easy to play with them." 

In that sense, Saviola pointed out the problems Paulo Dybala has had playing alongside Messi with the national team. 

"He said it was difficult for him and Messi to play together and I support that theory because to be able to maintain your rhythm requires another level of concentration," he said. "It sounds easy, but it is not."
