Racing Club forward Lautaro Martinez has claimed Real Madrid have tabled an offer for him, but the 18-year-old believes his club are unlikely to let go of him unless his €8 million buyout clause is met.
The attacker is regarded as one of the most promising youngsters in Argentina and Martinez s potential has seemingly not gone unnoticed at the Santiago Bernabeu.
It is true that I received a rough draft of an offer from Real Madrid to play a year on loan, with an option to buy, Martinez told Marca.
But my buy-out clause was a bit high at €8 million. If they really want me, they ll have to pay that amount as Racing won t accept anything less.
I m constantly talking with the president of my club and I know that my coach is counting on me for the season.
At this moment, I d like to learn more here before making the move to Europe. I got to Racing in 2014 and I m still getting used to playing in the first division. For now, Racing remain the priority.
