Jon Martín rises from Spain U‑19 to senior squad in a year

Martín featured in 31 of 32 league games last season, becoming a defensive mainstay. The senior national team staff monitored his physical and tactical growth closely.

His debut against Iran offers valuable international experience for the young centre‑back. However, missing the final World Cup squad was a disappointment for him.

His club form ensures he remains on the radar for future European competition selections.
