"Real Sociedad do not want to sell Martin, who is growing into a key player for the team under the tutelage of Pellegrino Matarazzo. Standing at 1.87 metres, with strong ball distribution and personality, and immense potential, it is natural for Martin to be on the radars of top clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid."
"The 20-year-old defender impressed heavily in the Copa del Rey final that Real Sociedad won last weekend against Atletico Madrid. However, La Real are unwilling to sell their academy graduate, who recently signed a new long-term contract until 2031."
"Barcelona, for their part, are aware of the high cost of Martin and currently view him as an alternative to their main target, Bastoni. The Italian, aged 27, has a higher valuation, estimated between €60-70 million, and Inter Milan are expected to be firm in negotiations."
FC Barcelona's sporting director Deco met with Jon Martin's agent to discuss the 20-year-old defender as a potential alternative to Alessandro Bastoni. Real Sociedad, however, is not interested in selling Martin, who has become a key player for the team. Despite interest from both Barcelona and Real Madrid, Martin recently signed a long-term contract with a €50 million release clause. Barcelona remains focused on Bastoni, whose valuation is higher, and may include players in negotiations to lower costs.
