After journalist Matteo Moretto reported that Inigo Martinez is close to leaving Barcelona and that Al-Nassr were in talks to sign him, Fabrizio Romano states that the الدوري السعودي للمحترفين team have agreed to sign the centre-back. He adds that the 34-year-old will terminate his Blaugrana contract with immediate effect and join as a free agent.
السابق إسبانيا international has been an important player for Barcelona since signing from أتليتيك بلباو in 2023. He has played 71 times for the club, 46 of which came last season as the veteran was a regular in Flick’s team. But now, he is off to link up with البرتغال icon Cristiano رونالدو in a lucrative move.
Romano adds that Martinez will sign a deal until the summer of 2026, and there is an option to extend a further 12 months. Reports suggest that he will join for nearly €8 million and will say goodbye to his Barcelona team-mates this week.
