An offer from Saudi Arabia tempts Inigo Martinez, who is reportedly already in talks with Barcelona regarding his potential departure. The center-back’s exit would free up significant funds in the wage bill.
At 34 years old and following a great past season with Barcelona, the market is offering a chance for one last major contract to Inigo Martinez. Al-Nassr interest, as reported by Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto, is strong, and they have convinced the center-back to leave the Catalan capital in the coming days.
The player has reportedly already spoken to the Catalan club, and both parts are discussing this possible departure. This would leave them with one less center-back in the squad – one who was key for Flick – but would also free up space on the wage bill, something to be taken very seriously given the difficulties Barcelona has encountered in registering players.
Fabrizio Romano assures that an economic agreement already exists between Inigo Martinez and Al-Nassr. Barcelona would not be an obstacle, as the center-back would terminate his contract with the ‘Cule’ club to arrive in Saudi Arabia as a free agent.
Inigo Martinez will sign a contract until June 2026 with the option to extend for another year upon meeting certain objectives.
