While waiting to understand what the final standing will be in this end of the season and whether the goal of qualifying for the next edition of the UEFA Champions League will be achieved, Milan is beginning to sit down to evaluate options and determine which signings could properly strengthen the Rossoneri squad for the upcoming year, an outcome the club’s leadership hopes will coincide with a return to Europe’s top competition.
Among the various profiles noted in their notebook, attention is on the track leading to Gerard Martín, although it will be more complicated than expected.
Links to the player, interest due to versatility
It is no surprise that Milan like a profile such as Gerard Martín, a Barcelona defender capable of covering multiple roles and positions within a defensive unit. The 24-year-old has a contract running until June 30, 2028, and he has long been on the radar of the Via Aldo Rossi club, which is looking for a player (and possibly more than one) who can expand the options in the defensive group, as relayed via Calcio Mercato.
Because of his versatility and potential for growth, Martín is a name that Milan intends to keep on their radar for the near future.
What is emerging
But as things currently stand, what is emerging about this potential deal?
According to Matteo Moretto on Fabrizio Romano’s Italian YouTube channel, the entire Barcelona environment (with coach Hansi Flick in particular) is happy and satisfied with Gerard Martín’s performances on the pitch.
The player himself is very attached to the Blaugrana environment, and at the end of the season, considering his contract runs until 2028, Matteo Moretto expects that Barcelona could sit down with his representatives to discuss and negotiate a possible extension of the current agreement, making it clear that he is a player they see as part of their future plans.
