FC Barcelona has achieved significant financial relief, allowing them to ensure the continuity of Iñigo Martínez in the team. The recent sale of Vitor Roque to Palmeiras has unlocked the club's economic situation, facilitating the registration and renewal of the Basque defender, a priority for Hansi Flick for the upcoming season.
The former Athletic Club and Real Sociedad center-back has been a key player in Barcelona's defense, playing 32 matches this season and starting in the majority of them. However, his future at the club was uncertain due to economic restrictions and registration issues that have affected Barcelona in recent years.
Barcelona seizes opportunity to renew Iñigo Martinez's contract
The deal with Palmeiras has brought in €25.5 million, plus an additional €5 million in variables, allowing the club to meet LaLiga's financial requirements. Thanks to this financial boost, Barcelona has been able to secure Iñigo Martinez's contract for the next season and extend it until 2026.
This solution comes at a crucial time as the Barcelona sports management had previously managed to register players like Dani Olmo and Gerard Martín thanks to a precautionary measure granted by the CSD. Now, with improved financial status, the club can focus on planning the future more confidently.
With this renewal assured, Iñigo Martinez will remain a cornerstone in Hansi Flick's team defense, as Flick fully trusts his leadership and experience. Barcelona, on the other hand, continues to take firm steps to stabilize its financial and sports situation.
