"As such, the idea within the Catalan club's sporting department, led by Deco, is to part ways with a player who is not considered untouchable in the squad. Gerard Martin expendable? One such option for Barcelona, according to an exclusive report from The Touchline, would be Gerard Martin. The Spanish defender could have left the club last summer itself, with some interest coming from the Premier League, but ended up staying following Inigo Martinez's exit."
"As per the report, Barça value Martin and what he brings to the table, but the financial situation could force them to consider offers of around €30 million for the 23-year-old star. So far this season, Martin has played 32 matches across all competitions, with nearly half of them coming as a left-sided centre-back. It is the exact position that Milan wish to strengthen in the summer, leading to their interest in the Spanish defender."
Barcelona are considering selling a squad player next summer to create salary space to sign a centre-forward. The sporting department led by Deco is open to parting with players not deemed untouchable. One candidate is 23-year-old defender Gerard Martín, who remained at the club after interest last summer. AC Milan have shown interest in signing the versatile defender, who has played 32 matches this season, often as a left-sided centre-back. Barcelona value Martín and extended his contract to 2028 with a €100m release clause, but the club could be compelled to accept offers near €30m given financial constraints.
