Barcelona star makes transfer stance clear amid summer exit rumors
Barcelona defender Gerard Martin has broken his silence on rumors linking him with a move away from Camp Nou. The 23-year-old, who featured regularly last season, has made it clear he's staying put — and has no plans to pack his bags this summer. Martin played 42 matches in the 2024-25 campaign, including eight in the Champions League. He finished the season with one goal and six assists, showing his ability to support the attack. Still, with Alejandro Balde the usual starter at left-back, talk grew over Martin possibly seeking more game time elsewhere. Several clubs have reportedly shown interest, but Martin isn't listening to the gossip. And fans hoping for a full-back shuffle might want to cool their jets. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp What Gerard Martin said on Barcelona future? Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, the Spaniard was clear and calm. 'I don't know if those stories are true. If they were, someone would have told me by now. I'm happy at Barcelona. I don't want to go anywhere. As long as the coach and the club trust me, I can't ask for more.' Martin added that working closely with the coaching staff has boosted his confidence. 'The coach trusts me, and that helps a lot. We've done video analysis together, and in training, he pushes me to give my best. During games, he asks me to be myself and stay focused.' He also gave an update on his recovery after undergoing hand surgery earlier this summer. 'I'm fine now. I was in a cast for three weeks, and at first I was a little worse, but I'm better now, ready to train on Monday and do whatever else I need to do.' With Barcelona heading to Asia for pre-season, Martin is set to join the squad and compete once again for his spot. While Balde may be the top pick, the race for minutes is far from over. Expect Martin to stay in the mix — and possibly shake things up at left-back.
