FC Bayern Munich's Javi Martinez has seen a lot. But the Spaniard could leave the club soon. Now the boss of his ex-club is positioning himself.
- Javi Martinez has been with Bayern since 2012 and was once a record transfer.
- His current contract runs until summer 2021.
- The boss of his former club gives an assessment of a possible return .
March 6 update: Javi Martinez's contract expires in 2021. However, it would not be surprising if the paths separated a year earlier and therefore after eight years. FC Bayern's former record transfer is used only sporadically , with the Spaniard only starting in nine games. Because of a muscle bundle tear , it did not show up in 2020.
His ex-club Athletic Bilbao is traded as a possible customer for Martinez. The 31-year-old ran for the Basques between 2006 and 2021. In the Spanish sports newspaper Mundo Deportivo , athletic boss Aitor Elizegi is quoted as saying about a transfer: "It is very important that he wants to come and give us something that we don't have in the squad yet." European champions do not block a young player's development opportunities. So that also means: Martinez would not be set in Bilbao .
There has never been anything like this at FCB: will we see Javi Martinez on the field in a completely new look soon?
First report from February 12, 2020:
Munich - Javi Martinez has been with Bayern Munich * since 2012. He was once Bayern Munich's record transfer and won the triple. He plays side by side with FCB legends like Franck Ribéry, Arjen Robben, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm in the Allianz Arena.
The Spaniard made an unusual statement in an interview. He has expressed a wish that was probably not yet known. Does he want to emulate a European football legend that shaped a special look?
FC Bayern's Javi Martinez in future in the Edgar Davids style?
The Spaniard won the Champions League * with FC Bayern Munich in London in 2013. At 11freunde.de, he spoke of the fact that the celebration in the cabin was “one party”. Incidentally, the cult magazine talked to Javi Martinez at the press event of glasses manufacturer Oakley, for which Martinez models.
And Martinez answered an odd question with an even rarer answer. The 31-year-old wears glasses and is on the field without a frame. 11Friends asked: "Will we soon see you with glasses on the lawn like Edgar Davids once did?" Football fans will surely remember the eye-catching Dutchman with glasses and a Rasta hairstyle.
Javi Martinez at Bayern with glasses? "I'd really like to do that"
So Javi Martinez in the style of Edgar Davids ? Would that be conceivable? If it were up to the 2010 world champion, that would be conceivable! “To be honest, I would really like to do that. I have already informed myself, but you need medical confirmation that you actually need the glasses, ”says Martinez .

- edgar davids (@esdavids) November 20, 2019Edgar Davids underwent eye surgery and had to wear safety glasses from 1999 onwards. Some time later that would not have been necessary, but he continued to wear it for fashion reasons and it became his trademark. It is said that Davids was influenced by basketball legend Dennis Rodman, who also wore glasses.
Martinez is currently failing with a muscle bundle tear and will also not be fit for the game against 1. FC Köln (in our live ticker).
