During the last summer transfer window, FC Barcelona would have liked to afford the services of Lisandro Martinez. While the Argentine defender finally stayed at Ajax, Xavi would have decided to relaunch this file.
Looking for a new central defender last summer, Ronald Koeman would have liked to bet on Lisandro Martinez. Indeed, the former -coach of FC Barcelona would have fallen under the spell of the Argentinian international and would have tried to recruit him, without success. While Ronald Koeman has been replaced by Xavi, the FC Barcelona would not however have given up on the idea of affording Lisandro Martinez, quite the contrary.
Xavi has a big weakness for Lisandro Martinez
According to information from TMW, the financial difficulties of FC Barcelona would have pushed Joan Laporta to postpone the operation Lisandro Martinez (Ajax) to the summer of 2022. However with the arrival of Xavi, the Catalan president could speed up the proceedings on this file. Indeed, as the transalpine media indicated, Xavi would be a big fan of Lisandro Martinez. So much so that he would have expressly requested his signature. Thus, Lisandro Martinez would now be followed very closely by FC Barcelona, because he is young (23 years old) and fits perfectly into the new project of Xavi, is endowed with great defensive qualities and recovery, and for his great international experience.
