At Barça, they consider Gerard Martín to be a player with a lot of quality, for whom they could demand a very interesting amount in a possible transfer. Discover the details
The summer transfer market is still in full swing and anything can happen. For this reason, at FC Barcelona they do not rule out that left-back Gerard Martín will end up leaving the club and they have already put a very juicy price on him.
In the 2024/25 season, the left-back knew how to respond solidly every time he was required, either to give Alejandro Balde a rest or when he was injured.
His performance convinced the coaching staff, leaving high-level performances that consolidated his progress. One of the most outstanding was in the Champions League match against Inter Milan, where he showed a remarkable competitive capacity and a tactical maturity unusual for his youth.
However, the sports management does not see his continuity assured, since the appearance of Jofre Torrents, left winger of Barça Atlètic and who will do the pre-season with the first team, could abruptly change the plans for Gerard Martín.
Barça bets big: 15 million for Gerard Martín
Thus, although until recently '35' was emerging as a piece that would gain more ground in Hansi Flick's scheme, now he could change teams this August if an offer arrives that is around 15 million euros, the minimum amount that Barça would be waiting to negotiate for the player.
It should be noted that at Barça they are aware that Gerard Martín is a different style of player than Balde or Torrents. They see in him a tactically ordered player with a good foot for the ball output.
However, Flick's idea of the game is more directed to constant mobility and imbalance on the flanks, a vision that fits in laterals with depth to provide offensive advantages; therefore, by profile and characteristics, Jofre would fit better in that model than Martín, while obviously Balde is untouchable for the club.
For this reason, Barça would be contemplating a strategic exit for the native of Esplugues de Llobregat, based on a sale with a repurchase option, a formula that has successfully applied in other cases of young talents who have passed through the blaugrana subsidiary before reaching the first team.
Gerard Martín seduces the Premier League
In this context, Gerard Martín would have time on the Premier League's radar. From England, both Wolverhampton and Bournemouth would have probed the future of the blaugrana player.
Despite this, so far neither of the two teams would have made moves for the player. But at Barça they remain attentive to a possible formal offer for '35', as they consider him to be a lateral with great potential.
It should be noted that 35 has a contract with the Barcelona team until 2028 with a termination clause of 100 million euros. However, if Jofre Torrents ends up having positive minutes, Gerard Martín's role in the first team would be complicated, since Flick likes the '18' of the blaugrana subsidiary a lot.
