Valencia, a fellow La Liga competitor, has reportedly identified Joan Martínez, a rising talent in Real Madrid’s defense, as a transfer target.
Sources indicate that Los Che are keen on acquiring the services of Joan Martínez.
The young defender has long been recognized as one of the most promising prospects in Spain’s capital, with expectations of a future in Real Madrid’s senior squad.
An injury sustained in the summer of 2024 temporarily hindered his progression to the first team. However, the 18-year-old is now deemed ready for a senior debut.
With this in mind, another prominent Spanish football club has begun exploring the possibility of signing Joan this summer.
According to reports, Valencia is considering a loan move for Joan Martínez, potentially including an option to purchase him permanently.
In any potential agreement, Real Madrid would likely insist on a buy-back clause to retain control over the defender’s long-term future. However, reports suggest that no significant progress has been made in negotiations thus far.
