Roland Zarate also confirms that the 20-year-old will move this summer and that there is no chance of the player being allowed to continue his development in Argentina until December.

After 11 goals in 13 games this season, including a hat trick in the Copa Libertadores against Cruzeiro, Martinez has attracted plenty of attention from Europe.

Arsenal also have been linked, but Inter, and the opportunity to link up with compatriot Mauro Icardi in the Nerazzurri's front line, appears to be the path chosen by the player.
