Martinez: Alcaraz is a Latic
Roberto Martinez insists Antolin Alcaraz is contracted to Wigan and will not be joining anyone else.
The Latics announced they had agreed terms to sign Alcaraz before he travelled to the World Cup with Paraguay, but quotes have since been attributed to the defender suggesting he believed the deal to be only preliminary.
The player's stock has risen after Paraguay's impressive run to the quarter-finals in South Africa but Martinez is adamant Alcaraz will be playing at the DW Stadium next season.
"Antolin signed a contract with Wigan Athletic, he's a Wigan Athletic player and that's the end of it as far as I'm concerned," Martinez told the Wigan Evening Post.
"If he had wanted to wait until after the World Cup, he wouldn't have signed his contract. He would have waited.
"I do know that he's eager to get things sorted out and arrive here in Wigan."
