Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez emerges as a £25m target for Manchester City.

Manchester City could make a summer move for Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez, according to The Sun.

Martinez, 23, starred for the Spanish Under-21 team in the European Championships last summer, and has reportedly been recommended by City winger David Silva.

A Bilbao source had recently stated: "We don't want Javi to go – only an incredible offer could change our minds."

City, however, are prepared to offer £25m for the Spanish international as Roberto Mancini looks to add fresh blood to his midfield.

Martinez joined Bilbao from Osasuna in 2006.
