Javi Martinez happy to hear about Bayern Munich interest

Martinez happy to hear Bayern link

Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez has admitted that he is flattered by reports linking him with a move to Bayern Munich.

The versatile Spaniard's future has been the subject of speculation all summer, with Bayern reportedly willing to offer €40m (£31.7m) for him, and has said that he is happy with the attention.

"It's truly great to have so much interest from Germany," said Martinez.

"I know the German press and fans are very interested in who I am. I can't say much else [about a transfer] though. I'm just relaxed and training training, trying to stay in shape and wait for a decision. I cannot do more than that."

Martinez was part of the Spain squad that won Euro 2012.
