Inigo Martinez has become Barcelona’s first signing for next season after the 31-year-old reached an agreement with the Catalan club.
Inigo Martinez, Barcelona’s first transfer
According to Spanish journalist Gerard Romero, the Athletic Bilbao centre-back has given a verbal agreement to join Xavi when his contract with the current club expires on June 30.
The Catalan club also wanted Martinez in 2017 when he was playing for Real Sociedad and last summer as an alternative to Jules Coude.
As a left-sided centre-back who has a lot of experience in La Liga and also because he is out of contract, Inigo Martinez is seen as an easy transfer option for Barcelona, writes Mundo Deportivo.
However, its legalization depends on the financial fair play conditions that the Catalans have to meet, and there is a risk that they will not be met at the beginning of July, as has happened in the past.
According to Spanish media, if he does not sign a contract with Barcelona, the defender will have a choice between Atletico and Aston Villa.
