In-demand Spain star Martin talks future plans: 'This is my home'

Real Sociedad defender Martin, linked with Madrid, Barcelona and Premier League clubs, reaffirms commitment to La Real after signing a long-term deal through 2032.

Real Sociedad's Jon Martin has dismissed speculation about a move away from the Basque club, insisting that La Real is his home. The 20-year-old centre-back, who has attracted interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona and several Premier League sides, signed a long-term contract extension in July that ties him to the club until 2032.

Martin, who made his Spain debut in the summer, praised Real Sociedad manager Pellegrino Matarazzo for his role in his development. "He sees that we are a very brave team and that we like to do daring things," Martin said. "What I like about him is that he is very close to us and he is a coach that we can really trust."

The defender, who has been at La Real since age 12, also credited his father—a former Real Sociedad player—as an important influence. Martin was speaking ahead of the Basque derby against Athletic Club on Sunday, a fixture he has already played five times in his 27 starts for the club.
