Javi Martínez - I'm not worth €40 million

Manchester United and Liverpool reported target Javi Martínez has claimed he is not worth the £33.7 million (€40 million) in is buy-out clause.

The Athletic Bilbao midfielder, also chased by Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, was linked to a move to Camp Nou as a replacement to Seydou Keita – also followed by Liverpool.

He told Spanish daily El Mundo Deportivo: “I don't think there's anyone who wants to pay so much for me. I see it as too much money for me. I don't think I'm worth so much.”

The 23 year-old is tied to the San Mamés club until the summer of 2016 and reminds that all reports are all speculation for now.

“Although it is very nice to be talked about in the newspapers, it is a product of what you are doing and says you're doing things right. I am very happy to talk about myself but now I'm very focused on what I have at the moment.”
