Barca and Arsenal want Javi Martinez of Bayern Munich

The Daily Mail reported that Barcelona have entered the race with Arsenal for Bayern Munich midfielder Javi Martinez. The Spanish club are preparing a bid in excess of £30 million for the 25-year-old. I don't know about Arsenal interest in the player, but Barcelona FC are definitely interested in the player as they failed to sign him a few seasons back, he can play in central defense and defensive midfield position, typical Barcelona FC style to sign more versatile players and he isn't lacking in the height department :)
