Club X has reportedly entered advanced talks to secure the services of 22‑year‑old midfielder Alex Martinez from Club Y. Sources close to the negotiations say the deal could be worth up to €45 million, with add‑on clauses based on appearances and European competition success.
Martinez, who has been a pivotal figure in Club Y’s midfield this season, contributed 12 goals and 16 assists across all competitions. His vision, work‑rate, and versatility have attracted interest from several top European clubs, but Club X appear to have the edge with a personal relationship between the player’s agent and the club’s sporting director.
Club X’s manager, Luis Fernández, hinted at a “new era” for the squad, stating, “We need a player who can dictate the tempo and bring creativity. Alex fits that profile perfectly.” The manager also praised Martinez’s professionalism and leadership qualities.
While the clubs have not officially confirmed any agreement, Club Y’s chairman, Marco Rossi, mentioned that “any offer will be carefully evaluated, and the club’s future plans will be taken into account.”
Should the transfer go through, Martinez would join a midfield already featuring seasoned options, providing depth ahead of the upcoming Europa League campaign.
