Barcelona are set to have a busy summer. The club are planning some major signings, but there could also be a number of players leaving Hansi Flick's squad between July and September, with names such as Robert Lewandowski and Marc Casado being mentioned as possible departures.
One position that Barcelona are looking to strengthen this summer is that of centre-back, looking for an alternative on the left wing.
If such a player arrives, Gerard Martin will move into the role of replacement for the left-back, however there is now a possibility that he will be one of the players leaving the "Spotify Camp Nou".
According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Milan are interested in Martin.
They see the 23-year-old as a good option to strengthen the left wing in the squad, while Real Madrid's Victor Valdepenas is also among their targets.
Initially, placing Martin in a quarterback role worked well, but it quickly lost its effect.
In recent weeks, Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia have been Barcelona's starters, while Ronald Araujo is the main substitute.
In this context, there is a possibility that Barcelona could sell Martin this summer, but the offer would have to make sense for the club to be accepted.
Any money received will go towards transfer business, but not necessarily for a replacement, as Jofre Torrents could be brought in as a replacement for Alejandro Balde.
Flick will have the final say on whether Martin stays or leaves.
He values him highly, but if selling him will bring in more funds to strengthen the quality of the team, it is unlikely that he will refuse.
For now, it remains to be seen whether Milan will intensify their interest before the summer transfer window opens in early July./Express newspaper/
