Marco Tronchetti – CEO of the club’s shirt sponsor – advised the Nerazzurri to chase the two star strikers

Pirelli chief executive Marco Tronchetti wants Inter to sign RB Leipzig star Timo Werner and Paris Saint-Germain’s Edinson Cavani amid doubts over Lautaro Martinez’s future with the Serie A club.

Inter forward Martinez has been heavily linked to La Liga champions Barcelona, who have reportedly set to chase a big-money move after identifying the Argentina international as the ideal long-term replacement for Luis Suarez.

According to reports, Antonio Conte’s Inter have put together a list of potential replacements, including Liverpool target Werner and soon-to-be free agent Cavani, as the club would look to replace Martinez should he leave.

Inter already have Romelu Lukaku at the club, with the Belgian brought in last summer as forward Mauro Icardo went to Paris Saint-Germain on loan.

Tronchetti – CEO of Pirelli who are Inter’s shirt sponsor – advised the Nerazzurri to chase Werner and Cavani should the club be forced to sign a replacement for Martinez this summer.

“For example, we left Inter with a ‘regista’ who was supposed to change the team in [Christian] Eriksen,” Tronchetti told Gr Parlamento.

“Cavani’s been able to do extraordinary things and I hope he can repeat them in Nerazzurro.  In Serie A there are other expert players, above all Cristiano Ronaldo, who are proving to be great champions. Age is not a limit, he [Cavani] can be a good choice.

“It’s clear that selling Lautaro would hurt, but with Cavani and Werner we could be stronger than with Lautaro and [Mauro] Icardi, especially if Eriksen returns to his Tottenham form.”

Martinez had scored 16 goals in 31 matches across all competitions before the season was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
