Javier Martinez is set to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the 2020-21 season. This will bring an end to his 9-year stint with the Bavarian side.
The defensive midfielder joined Bayern in August 2012 from Athletic Club.
Julian Nagelsmann appoint new head coach for Bayern Munich
The Spanish international has won:
8 Bundesliga titles, 5 DFB Pokal, 4 German Super Cup’s, 2 Champions League and 1 FIFA Club World cup title.
His presence at the base of midfield brought stability to the Bayern lineup for almost a decade.
In this season, he made 17 appearances for the club in the domestic league. This shows that Martinez has fallen down the pecking order.
In 266 appearances, he scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists and was part of the major Bayern Munich team’s that dominated in the last decade.
In 2012/13, Bayern announced the arrival of Martinez and at that time was their most expensive signing.
Martinez came for a whopping 40 million Euros from Athletic Club.
Javi Martinez is a serial winner and the reason for that can be seen in 2010 when he lifted the World Cup for Spain.
He was part of the squad that won the treble under Jupp Heynckes.
In the current season, he has played 28 matches across all competitions for Bayern Munich and has scored a solitary goal and provided 2 assists.
Bayern Munich are a win away from securing another Bundesliga title.
The German club has won the title every year since 2012/13 and he has been a part of all of them.
He will hope to wrap up his career at Munich with a 9th successive title.
We wish Martinez all the best in his future endeavors.
