Iñigo Martínez could leave Barça as a free agent. The centre-back's contract expires in 2025 and West Ham have already expressed their interest

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Iñigo Martínez has established himself as one of the great 'bulwarks' of Hansi Flick's project at the start of this season. The Basque's continuity at FC Barcelona was in doubt due to the 'overbooking' of centre-backs and the difficulties in registering him in LaLiga, but finally the injuries of Ronald Araújo and Andreas Christensen made a place for him in the Barça squad, where he is already one of the German's 'untouchables'.

However, his future will once again be a topic of debate in the coming months, since the defender's contract with the club ends on June 30, 2025 and, despite the fact that the Catalans do not rule out his renewal, the truth is that there are still no negotiations to extend his contract.

Furthermore, both Christensen and Araújo are expected to return to the first team at the end of the year or the beginning of the next, so their minutes in Flick's system could be reduced and, given the interest of the Blaugranas in Jonathan Tah, they would look to give him an exit to make room for the German.

West Ham United interested in signing Iñigo

This situation would be taken advantage of by West Ham United, where Julen Lopetegui is a great admirer of the footballer and would like to incorporate him into his squad to reinforce a defense that has conceded 15 goals in the first 8 Premier League games.

The 'hammers' would look favorably on his signing since he would arrive in London as a free agent, although it would be subject to the continuity of the Spanish coach in the Olympic dugout in London.

The 'Irons' have 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in the English league and are in fifteenth position in the table, so Lopetegui's position is in 'question' and this could condition the signing of an Iñigo whose folder will be opened at the Spotify Camp Nou in the following weeks.
