Iñigo Martínez has earned his continuity at Barça. The Catalans are delighted with the Basque's performance and will renew his contract no matter what
Iñigo Martínez is playing his breakthrough season at FC Barcelona. The Basque has played in 16 official matches for the Blaugrana team, and with 20 more matches he will ensure his automatic renewal for another year until the 2025-26 season, since his contract stipulates that he must play 60% of the Barça team's official matches to extend his contract for another year.
However, at Can Barça they intend to extend the defender's commitment beyond what was agreed on paper. The Catalans are more than satisfied with his performance and the player is having a 'sweet' moment under the orders of Hansi Flick, who considers it a priority to close Martínez's continuity for another season.
Iñigo's renewal is practically confirmed
Thus, and as reported in 'SPORT', Iñigo's renewal until June 2026 is practically confirmed and only the deadlines for it would be missing, since, at the moment, there are more urgent files such as those of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, which must be resolved from January 1.
The extension of the central defender's stay in Barcelona is a reward for his great present in the team. The player forms one of the most reliable duos on the continent together with Pau Cubarsí, and his importance transcends the playing fields, since his leadership and hierarchy keep him as a 'mirror' for the youngest.
Details that delight the coach and the sports management, who do not want to miss one of the bastions of the new project that is being developed at the Spotify Camp Nou with Flick at the helm.
