Lisandro Martinez is getting closer to leaving Manchester United, with a move to La Liga being the player's next destination. Barcelona is one of the clubs that has formally initiated action, and preliminary progress has been made in talks between Barcelona's sporting director Deco and relevant parties. However, Sport has pointed out a strict precondition for this transfer: Barcelona will only proceed if the deal can be completed at a low cost.
Laurie Whitwell, Manchester United correspondent for The Athletic, explained Barcelona's stance on a Manchester United podcast. Barcelona has already made significant signings this summer, and due to financial fair play restrictions, their available funds for the winter transfer window are very limited. Cadena SER reporter Ferran Olive further confirmed on the show that Barcelona still has room for maneuver in January, but the space is very narrow, and the budget available for this central defender signing is only in the 3 to 4 million euro range.
The player himself prefers a move to La Liga. In addition to Barcelona, Atletico Madrid is also continuously monitoring Lisandro Martinez. Romano added that Lisandro Martinez's team will meet directly with Manchester United in the coming days and weeks to evaluate all possibilities: whether to activate the one-year extension option in his contract, leave in the winter transfer window, or stay until the end of the season.
Barcelona's defense is currently plagued by injuries, with several central defenders sidelined. The club needs to find a central defender in the winter transfer window to strengthen the squad. Gvardiol and Bastoni are ideal targets for Barcelona, but Manchester City and Internazionale are unwilling to let them go, making the operation extremely difficult. Therefore, Lisandro Martinez has become a cost-effective alternative.
For Manchester United, if Lisandro Martinez leaves in the winter transfer window, the team will need to find a new central defender to fill the void. Lisandro Martinez's performance this season has been heavily criticized, and the red card incident against Chelsea has further amplified public pressure. His situation at Man Utd is already very delicate.
