Barcelona sets selling price for one of its gems

FC Barcelona could be involved in another exit operation this summer transfer window. Gerard Martín, one of the revelations of last season, has gone from being a reliable solution at left-back to being on the way out. The Blaugrana club would be willing to negotiate his sale if an offer close to 15 million euros arrives, a minimum amount set to start discussions.

The young defender, who excelled last season when he had to replace Alejandro Balde, had convinced the coaching staff with his defensive security and composure in challenging matches like the duel against Inter in the Champions League. However, his position within the team has weakened this summer due to the emergence of youth player Jofre Torrents, who has made a strong impression during preseason.

Hansi Flick is opting for a more aggressive and offensive style, where full-backs should have the ability to break lines and pose a threat in the opponent's half. Although Gerard provides balance and reliability in ball distribution, he lacks the explosiveness and energy that the German coach seeks in that area of the field.

In this scenario, with several Premier League teams reportedly monitoring him, 'El Nacional' asserts that Barcelona would not be against a sale if his valuation is respected. Financially, parting ways with a homegrown talent would mean a clear gain for the club's accounts. Moreover, including a buy-back clause is not ruled out, ensuring flexibility in case Gerard excels at another destination.
