Belgium coach Roberto Martinez says he would not commit to "anyone" before speaking with the Belgian Federation first, according to the newspaper 'Het Laatste Nieuws' following reports he has agreed to replace Ernesto Valverde at Barcelona.
"I won't say 'yes' to anyone without speaking first to Bart and Mehdi," Martinez declared, in reference to Bart Verhaeghe and Mehdi Bayat, president and vice president of the Belgian Association (URBSFA).
The newspaper, in reference to Barça's interest in the Catalan coach, doesn't offer any more quotes from him and define his response as "cryptic."
Martínez has a deal until 2020 with Belgium, who he took to third place in the World Cup last summer and is targetting success at next year's European Championships.
