Fans of Manchester City have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays claims that City are no longer interested in signing Inter’s Lautaro Martinez.
According to SPORT journalist Veronica Brunati, Manchester City are no longer interested in the signing of Inter forward Martinez, as the club have other priorities in the transfer market this summer.
In reaction to Brunati’s claim, which was relayed by Man City Xtra on Twitter, fans of the club have flocked to have their say on the matter, with many claiming that they are pleased with the news, while others have suggested players who they would rather see Pep Guardiola make a move for this summer.

Good news ?. Of course with the money you should bring CB’s. For example Upamecano ?? and Boubacar Kamara ?? as well. Less than 100m€ both players. Talents and really good defenders.

What do we think?
While many City fans appear to be pleased with the news that their club is no longer in for Martinez, is it difficult to argue that the Argentine is not having a fine season with Inter.
So far this season, the £57.6 million-rated forward has scored 11 goals in his 22 Serie A fixtures, averaging an impressive WhoScored match rating of 7.12.
In addition to this, Martinez has also scored a further five goals in just six Champions League fixtures, while averaging an even more impressive match rating of 7.36.
As such, the 22-year-old has proven that he can perform at the very highest level of European football.
Despite this, however, it would appear that the claims of City not being in for Martinez this summer has pleased many fans, who apparently believe that their squad needs improvement in other areas before addressing their attack.
