Barcelona starts talks to renew Gerard Martín’s contract

FC Barcelona has initiated discussions to renew Gerard Martín's contract, which currently runs until 2028. The 24-year-old defender has made significant progress under manager Hansi Flick and is considered an integral part of the squad. While both parties are optimistic about an extension, there is no urgency as preliminary conversations are underway without a set meeting date. Martín, who has transitioned from a left-back to a center-back, is expected to continue playing a prominent role this season alongside Pau Cubarsí. Additionally, he is recovering from a minor injury sustained during a recent match against Levante.
