Amid swirling transfer rumors, Gerard Martín has spoken out to clarify his position on his Barcelona future. The 21-year-old defender addressed reports suggesting he could be sold this summer, firmly stating:
“I don’t know if the news about my sale are true. If they were, they would have informed me. I’m very happy here in Barcelona, and I don’t want to leave.”
Martín’s statement reassures fans of his commitment to the club as he continues his development. He expressed his belief in the project at Barça and his confidence in earning the coaching staff’s trust:
“If the coach and management trust me, I couldn’t ask for more.”
On the possibility of new signings increasing competition in his position, Martín welcomed the challenge:
“Competition doesn’t scare me. It’s good—it helps me improve.”
Reflecting on his standout performances, Martín highlighted the controversial Champions League match against Inter Milan, where he felt he was fouled by Denzel Dumfries before Inter’s decisive goal:
“I saw the replay the next day and I was mad. That match ended badly for everyone, but personally, I was satisfied with my performance.”
He also recalled his strong showing against Dortmund away, acknowledging both as career highlights so far.
With such maturity and determination, Martín is proving he’s not just another academy product but a player eager to fight for his place. His dedication and mindset could make him a key figure in Barcelona’s ongoing rebuild.
