Iñigo Martínez has become a secondary player at Barça in 2024, and for next season the situation does not seem to change, something that invites the club to look for a new destination for the defender

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Recently less than a month informed that Iñigo Martínez had a lot of possibilities to abandon the FC Barcelona in June. This news, something surprising by the arrival of the central for this same season, poses due to the fact that the entity culé still keeps some financial problems and that although the Basque signed by two seasons, only was inscribed in 2023 until the next 30 June.

This situation, added to the high wage of the central of Ondarroa and his record of injuries, leave him in a very complicated situation for having a high competition in his position, being relegado to the bench in the last two months by the youngster Pau Cubarsí. In fact, 'Sport' informs this Friday that the problems of 'fair play' that condition to the Barça and that do that the club have to win margin salarial, do that the Barcelona club works with the idea that Íñigo Martínez finish going out in summer.

And this decision is netamente based in the management of plantila and no by a sportive subject. The presence of players like Koundé and Christensen, and, especially, the irruption of Cubarsí cause that the Barça see the centre of the defence like an option to lighten mass salarial. Taking in account that Ronald Araújo keeps on being an untransferable player, and that besides Eric García will return to the entity for the pre-season, as surely also will do it Chadi Riad, has done that the Barça already take a position to help to Iñigo to look for a new club.

The Barça will need to find a big offer for Iñigo

The information aims that in the dispatches will look for to help to the Basque player to find a satisfactory destination. The Barça will move in search of a proposal that was of the like of the player, no only to sportive level but also economic. As better was the offer, more options will have to analyse if it is viable to reach an agreement with the ex of the Athletic to credit him only a part of the second year.

It is important to highlight equally that like both parts engaged only by a season to level of registration, the private agreement between club and player yes that it was signed until 2025, by what the club simply would leave him go out free in terms of 'fair-play'. But yes that it will have to pay him the second season, already was in his whole or in a high percentage.
