FC Bayern appears to be getting serious about signing Gerard Martín. After initial reports emerged about Munich’s interest in the FC Barcelona defender, new information has now surfaced. According to the Spanish website Fichajes, the German record champions are preparing an offer of 40 million euros to bring the 24-year-old to Munich in the summer of 2027.

Under former Bayern coach Hansi Flick, Martín has developed into an important option in the Catalans’ defense. His versatility in particular makes the Spaniard an attractive prospect. The left-footed player can be deployed both as a left back and in central defense.

Recently, reports have been circulating that Martín has landed on Munich’s radar. Now, the transfer saga seems to be taking shape—at least on Bayern’s end. However, signing him is unlikely to be a sure thing.

Bayern is reportedly preparing a 40-million offer

According to information from Fichajes, the Munich club plans to make a concrete move for the player next summer. The report suggests an offer of 40 million euros is on the table.

However, Bayern are by no means alone in their interest. Liverpool FC, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be keeping an eye on the Spanish defender. According to the report, Inter Milan has already made initial inquiries.

This could lead to intense competition for the record champions.

On top of that, Barcelona is reportedly not interested in letting Martín go at this time. Coach Hansi Flick, in particular, values the defender’s versatility and would like to continue relying on him in the future.

Flick wants to keep Martín—Barça could extend his contract

According to Fichajes, the Catalans are even considering an early contract extension. Martín is currently under contract through 2028. An extension of his contract through 2030 or 2031 is apparently on the table.

This makes the situation difficult for interested clubs, especially since the 24-year-old’s contract includes a release clause of 100 million euros.

Although his market value is estimated at around 40 million euros, Barcelona could demand significantly more for a sale. Most recently, there was talk of a possible transfer fee between 55 and 60 million euros.

The offer Bayern is reportedly preparing would thus fall below that range. It remains to be seen whether the Munich club would actually be willing to increase its offer in the event of a rejection.

On the field, Martín would provide Vincent Kompany’s squad with additional flexibility. His ability to play multiple positions in the back four, in particular, could make him an interesting addition.
