FC Barcelona is reportedly working at signing Gerard Martin for a new four-year contract as a young talented defender of the team.
Martin has somehow established himself as part of the defensive machinery of the team under the leadership of Barcelona manager Hansi Flick.
According to recent published information concerning the issues of the conflict, both sides of the gas conflict are currently rather optimistic about the results of the negotiations and the near future.
For the time that Martin has been at Barcelona, he has stroked a unique talent being likened to fellow popular stars while proving that with time he would be an integral part of Barcelona’s assembly.
The confidence found in his performances has been very beneficial to the coaching staff, especially during important matches of the season which may include matches against the giants of Manchester City.
“Gerard brings a different dimension to our defense. He possesses great pace and when the team is caught out of position, he can recover.” Flick said.
“His reading of the game is so good for someone his age, and that’s something we have worked hard to develop.” Flick added.
Signing Martin is even more feasible as he has a contract with Barcelona up to the year 2025 but the club is interested in a fresh working agreement.
The need to sign the player early on is an indication of Barcelonas plans to ensure they maintain the best talent possible as they shape up for the rigors of the future European leagues.
In the event the deals are signed, the 22-year defender will remain associated with the club until 2028, giving him an opportunity to grow in one of the biggest football academy.
This potential extension does not only show how much Barcelona trusts Martin’s skills but also how the club plans to keep a strong and deep defense squad to pursue both the LaLiga and Champions League in the next few years.
