Roberto Martinez to Discuss Future With Belgian FA Amidst Links With Barcelona Job

Roberto Martinez has recently been linked with taking over as manager of Barcelona, should the Catalan club decide to part ways with current boss Ernesto Valverde.

Valverde has come under increased pressure from fans following their calamitous Champions League exit to Liverpool and the loss to Valencia in the final of the Copa Del Rey.

As reported by Marca, when questioned on taking another job, Martinez responded: "I won't say yes to any team without first talking with [the president of the Royal Belgian Football Federation,] Bart [Verhaeghe,] and [the vice-president,] Mehdi [Bayat]."

The former Swansea City boss did not clarify whether he had been contacted by the Blaugrana, nor did he rule himself out of a move there.
