Hansi Flick aims to keep Gerard Martin amid Chelsea, AC Milan interest

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is not considering selling defender Gerard Martin this summer, despite increasing interest from Chelsea and AC Milan. Martin, who has adapted from left-back to a key centre-back role, made 51 appearances last season and is under contract until 2028. Barcelona has received a reported offer of €35 million from AC Milan but remains committed to retaining the 24-year-old. Flick regards Martin as a vital part of the squad and aims for him to continue developing under his management. The club is currently assessing the transfer market, but internal expectations suggest that if any defender departs, it would likely be Ronald Araujo instead of Martin.
