It's Over Between Inigo Martinez And FC Barcelona

Source

Good day, everyone, and welcome to my blog. It has been confirmed recently that Inigo Martinez has terminated his contract with FC Barcelona and will now leave the club as a free agent. It was shocking news that happened so fast that I am still trying to figure out how and what went wrong surrounding this move by Inigo Martinez and FC Barcelona. It was a mutual agreement between both parties as Barcelona agreed to let Inigo Martinez go this summer for free without collecting a fee for the player.

It is strange realising that the club pushed to put the player on sale if both parties agreed it was best to part ways. FC Barcelona were happy with Inigo Martinez and even extended his contract last summer window for two years. The Spanish defender was a huge part of Barcelona's domestic treble last season and was close to playing in the Champions League final if not for the defeat against Inter Milan in the second leg of the semifinal match. Inigo Martinez was a solid starter for the club and paired alongside Pau Cubarsi, both players were a force at the defence.

Hansi Flick was happy with the player, which shows his active use during the last season, even when Ronald Araujo was fit to play. Inigo Martinez was not just a player at the club, but also a leader in the team, even though he wasn't a captain for the squad, he possesses all the qualities of a team captain. In all honesty, I don't see a good reason why he left the club this summer, and I have checked from various sources to see if there was any issue, but all said the same thing that it was a mutual decision.

Inigo Martinez is not without a club as he has already accepted Al Nassar's contract offer and has agreed to join the club this summer. It's kind of a shock that he quickly made the decision to join the Saudi club while exploring other options in Europe. The decision has already been made, and Inigo Martinez will be in Saudi Arabia soon to join his new club. The departure of Inigo Martinez could give Barcelona more advantage in terms of fair play, which could facilitate the registration of new players. The 14 million euros deduction in the wage bill for Barcelona could go a long way for the club.

There are also talks that Barcelona may get another signing, which I think is not necessary at this point. The important thing is to register all the players before the new season kicks off a week from now. There has been no news on the registration of Barcelona players as the club is taking time to assess everything and will then begin to submit the necessary documents to register all the players. It was a good run between Inigo Martinez at FC Barcelona and I wish him the best of luck in his new club. So guys that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
