Moretto: Milan interested in Barcelona centre-back - 'evaluation' phase underway
"AC Milan's interest in signing FC Barcelona defender Gerard Martin in the summer window has been confirmed by Matteo Moretto. Late last week, it emerged that Milan have a new name on their radar as they explore various options to reinforce the defence. Reports in Spain suggested that Martin is a concrete target for the Rossoneri, so much so that a bid of around €25m is ready."
"According to what Matteo Moretto has reported on Fabrizio Romano's YouTube channel, Milan are plotting another operation that is a bit different to the one involving Victor Valdepeñas, who is currently playing for the Real Madrid Castilla squad and is also a target. Gerard Martin has already gained experience with the Barcelona first team and is considered a more ready profile. A natural left-back, he can also be deployed as a central defender in a three-man defence or in emergency situations, a characteristic that increases his appeal."
AC Milan have confirmed interest in signing FC Barcelona defender Gerard Martin and are reportedly ready to bid around €25m. Matteo Moretto reported Milan are exploring this option alongside other defensive targets such as Victor Valdepeñas. Gerard Martin has first-team experience at Barcelona and offers versatility as a natural left-back who can also operate as a centre-back in a three-man defence or in emergencies. Premier League clubs showed winter interest, but the player and Barcelona refused a mid-season sale. Transfer talks are expected in summer as Barcelona plan outgoing sales to fund reinforcements while Milan assess cost, growth potential and tactical fit.
