The Catalan club are said to view the Argentine as a key target as they look to strengthen their back line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manchester United could be open to letting Martinez leave, sources suggest, with the centre-back approaching the final year of his contract. Although there is an option to extend for a further 12 months, the club may hesitate to commit to a long-term deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His time in England has been disrupted by a string of serious injuries, limiting his appearances and raising concerns over his long-term fitness.
