Deal done! Iñigo Martínez, Barça's first signing for 2023-2024

With the season finalised, the balloon remains in the roof of the sportive direction of the FC Barcelona, to which him avecina a very moved market of signings estival. They will be many the movements in the City Condal and everything seems to indicate to that the one of Iñigo Martínez will be one of the first in announcing . The agreement will extend by the next two seasons so that the central of 32 years reinforce the staff of Xavi Hernández like free agent, after finishing his agreement with the Athletic Club.

The Barça carries working in his incorporation from the past summer, when 'coló' in the middle of the difficulties of the blaugrana for fichar to Jules Koundé. His clause of rescission, that rose to 60 million euros, moved it away of the City Condal, but this year -without bond with the bilbaínos-, the way has been cleared so that Mateu Alemany and company have closed an agreement for his free signing.

The agreement of Iñigo Martínez, with conditions

The newspaper 'MARK' has informed that the agreement between the Barça and the footballer is closed... But with an important novelty in the agreement that will sign. And it is that, although all is completed, the agreement could twist in case that from LaLiga do not accept in his whole the plan of economic feasibility of the culés (that it already would have green light). In this case, in the club would delimit the priorities in the market and Iñigo Martínez will be the big prejudiced.

Likewise, in the hypothetical case that the Barça do not achieve to have margin salarial sufficient for the registration of the defender, during the market of wintry signings could look for a new team with the commitment that the Barcelona would compensate him economically so that "it did not lose money with regard to what would win the next season if finally it arrived to the Camp Nou", as they have explained. It is a stage of urgencies and from the club understand that they will not arrive to this extreme.

Iñigo, new central for Xavi Hernández

With the incorporation of the footballer of 32 years, Xavi Hernández has a new alternative to configure his defensive saga, as long as the injuries him 'respect' more than in the season that finish to finalise. It will add to the list of players that 'will litigate' by a place like head office, beside Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé, Andreas Christensen and Eric García. It is, besides, Marcos Alonso, but with the exit of Jordi Alba all seems to indicate to that will play more like left side beside Alejandro Balde.
