Gerard Mart\u00edn underwent surgery to treat his injury to his right hand. The left-back will have a recovery of 3 to 4 weeks and will be available for Bar\u00e7a’s pre-season.<\/h2> \r\n

FC Barcelona issued the official medical report of Gerard Mart\u00edn this Tuesday. The Bar\u00e7a full-back suffered an injury to his right hand<\/a> in Spain’s debut in the U-21 Euro against Slovakia (2-3 victory) that left him out of the continental tournament.<\/p>

In that sense, the Bar\u00e7a medical team confirmed that the 23-year-old defender underwent a surgical intervention, successfully, which involves a recovery period of 3 to 4 weeks<\/strong>.<\/p>

According to the club, Gerard was operated on for the dislocation of the base of the fifth metacarpal of his right hand by Dr. Xavier Mir<\/strong>, under the supervision of the Bar\u00e7a Medical Services, with which he is expected to be medically discharged in time to join the Bar\u00e7a pre-season from day one.<\/p>

The squad will return to work on Monday, July 14 at the Ciutat Esportiva<\/strong> and, a couple of weeks later, will travel to Asia to play three matches in Japan (Vissel Kobe) and South Korea (Seoul and Daegu).<\/p>

Gerard Mart\u00edn, ready for pre-season and attentive to his future<\/h2>

In this way, Mart\u00edn will be able to return to training with the rest of the group in mid-July, in principle starting as the second option for the left-back position. Alejandro Balde will once again be the undisputed starter<\/strong>, while the ’35’, now with a first-team place, hopes to have the same prominence he enjoyed in the final stretch of the 24\/25 season.<\/p>

The youth player closed the year with 42 appearances (20 as a starter) in which he added 1 goal and 6 assists<\/strong> in 1,793 minutes of action. Hansi Flick maintains full confidence in him, but the club does not rule out selling him if a good offer arrives in the coming weeks.<\/p>

For the moment, Wolverhampton and Bournemouth are the teams that have been mentioned as possible destinations<\/a> for the Catalan defender. Gerard Mart\u00edn has a contract until 2028 and his termination clause is 100 million euros. For its part, its market value in Transfermarkt reaches 12 M\u20ac.<\/p>

Grimaldo, Bar\u00e7a’s plan B if Gerard Mart\u00edn leaves<\/h2>

However, Bar\u00e7a could let him go for a figure close to 20 ‘kilos’<\/strong>. If his sale is completed, the club would have to go to the market to incorporate another left-back. Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen), for now, is the option best valued by the board and the coaching staff.<\/p>

The signing of the Spanish international would not represent a high expense, since his clause is around 15 ‘kilos’<\/strong>. In that sense, it would be a change of cards: what is entered by Mart\u00edn will be reinvested in Grimaldo. The Valencia native was already Bundesliga champion in 2024 and could fight hand in hand with Balde for the title.<\/p>
