Athletic Bilbao president Jon Uriarte insists there's no plans to sell Inigo Martinez.

The Spain defender is a target for Barcelona.

But Uriarte, when asked if he's confident keeping Martinez, replied: "Of course.

"Iñigo has a one-year contract with us.

"He is a very important player, we believe that his contribution this season will be relevant to achieving the goals we have set for ourselves and hopefully we will have an exciting project to be able to count on him for more years."
