Athletic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez is putting transfer talks on-hold as he focuses on Spain's World Cup assault.

The 21 year-old is a major target for Manchester City, Chelsea and Real Madrid, but after his surprise World Cup call, Martinez doesn't want any distractions in South Africa.

"Now is not the time, I am in the 23 and I want to concentrate on the World Cup. I know there are offers, I will look at them in July," said Martinez.
