Lisandro Martínez, a 28-year-old center-back, has informed the Manchester United board of directors of his decision not to renew his contract and leave the club in this summer transfer window. The Argentine is a long-standing target for Hansi Flick as he fits perfectly into his style of play.

FC Barcelona has emerged as the main interested party in securing his services before his contract expires in June 2027, with the operation valued at 40 million euros by Old Trafford.

Hansi Flick targets Lisandro Martínez for FC Barcelona's defense

As reported by David Ornstein in The Athletic, the stance of the Argentine international has sparked interest from the Catalan sports committee. Hansi Flick has requested the arrival of the 28-year-old defender, deeming it essential to add a left-footed center-back with clean ball distribution from the back.

The player featured in 19 games for Manchester United last season, hindered by consecutive injuries but maintaining tactical consistency whenever given playing time. With the player's refusal to extend his contract beyond 2027, the British leadership prefers to set his release clause at 40 million euros in this transfer window.

FC Barcelona's condition before negotiating with Manchester United

FC Barcelona has given the green light to pursue Martinez, yet the economic feasibility of the transfer requires clearing salary space. The board must finalize the sale of at least one defender from the current squad before submitting a written financial proposal to England.

Meanwhile, the Manchester United's executives aim to conclude the transfer during this August 2026 to have financial leeway in recruiting a defensive replacement. Martinez awaits the agreement between the clubs after rejecting contract extension offers presented at Old Trafford.

FC Barcelona plans to intensify the departure of one of their defenders during the second week of August 2026. Once squad space is freed up, the Catalan entity will submit a formal 40 million euros offer to Manchester United to wrap up the transfer of Lisandro Martínez before the start of official competitions.
