Highly-rated La Liga defender responds to Real Madrid links: ‘Impossible not to hear about it’

Transfer rumours are beginning to swirl around Jon Martin, but the Real Sociedad defender has made it clear where his focus lies – on his current club.

In recent weeks, the young centre-back has been linked with a potential move to Real Madrid, with reports suggesting he could be the next domestic defensive addition following names like Dean Huijsen and Alvaro Carreras last summer.

Given Madrid’s ongoing defensive reshuffle, it is no surprise that emerging talents in Spain are being closely monitored.

Martin’s situation has naturally attracted attention, especially due to his reported €50 million release clause – a figure that, in today’s market, is seen as relatively accessible for a player with strong potential and room to grow.

That combination of price and promise has placed him firmly on the radar of top clubs, including interest from Barcelona as well.

Speaking about the increasing speculation in an interview with AS, Martin admitted that avoiding the noise is almost impossible, even if he tries to stay focused.
