Iñigo Martínez, excellent news for FC Barcelona

Iñigo Martínez, born in Ondarruta, has made a sensational start to the season and is on track to activate a clause that will extend his contract with FC Barcelona for another year.

The Catalan club is very pleased with his performance. Martínez’s future is firmly tied to FC Barcelona.

Although his current contract ends next June, he is already in the process of activating a clause that will keep him with the club for at least one more season.

As reported by Sport, the Ondarroa native signed a two-year deal with an option for a third year if he plays at least 45 minutes in 60 percent of the matches.

Given that he has already started 15 games, it seems likely that, barring any setbacks or a sudden drop in form, he will easily meet this requirement.

Seizing the opportunity for Iñigo Martínez Contract

The 33-year-old Basque player has become a crucial part of Hansi Flick’s squad.

After spending his first season overshadowed by the pairing of Ronald Araujo and Pau Cubarsí, the former Athletic Club player has capitalized on Araujo’s injury to secure a spot in the starting eleven, proving he can handle the pressure that comes with playing for a prestigious club like Barcelona.

The board, which once considered the option of letting him go, is now genuinely pleased with his contributions, viewing it as great news that he can remain with the team for another year.

“Deco has further solidified this confidence with Hansi Flick, who is thrilled to have a player of his caliber and quality” the media outlet concludes.
