Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez says he is not worth the reported €40m it would take to buy him out
of his contract with the Basque club.
The 23-year-old has been linked with Liverpool,
Manchester City and Barcelona among others after some impressive performances
for Athletic.
However, he does not expect anyone to be willing to
match the reported buy-out clause in his contract.
"I do not think there's anyone who wants to pay so
much for me," he told Mundo Deportivo. "I see it as too much money for
me. I don't think I'm worth €40m."
Martinez, who has helped Athletic into the last 16 of
the UEFA Europa League and to within a point of fourth place of the UEFA
Champions League qualification places in La Liga, is flattered by the attention
he has received.
"These things are always going on in the world of
football," he added. "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."
