Meknes – Paris Saint-Germain are looking at Real Madrid for new talent, identifying the center-back Joan Martínez as a top target to strengthen their future defense, according to Marca.
The 18-year-old is considered one of the most promising players at “La Fábrica,” Real Madrid’s famous training ground. Although he hasn’t made his official debut for the first team yet, experts believe he has the potential to become a regular starter very soon.
PSG are not the only club interested in the young Spaniard. His impressive performances have caught the eye of several major teams across Europe, making him one of the most-watched prospects in the game today.
Martínez is a perfect fit for PSG’s new strategy, which focuses on developing young talent rather than signing established superstars.
Marca reports that if the move happens, it will be a complete permanent transfer, with Real Madrid not keeping any percentage of the player’s rights or future ownership.
PSG’s sporting advisor, Luis Campos, has been scouting Martínez and has already made his interest in the player official. He is fully aware of the defender’s current contract details as he looks to bring him to Paris to play under coach Luis Enrique.
However, the Spanish club has made sure the young talent is well-protected. He has signed a new contract that runs until 2029 and includes a massive €150 million release clause.
Because of this high price tag, Real Madrid is in a strong position. There is no way for Martínez to leave without a direct deal between the two clubs. If PSG wants to complete the deal, they will have to sit down and negotiate a price with Madrid.
