New ‘soap opera’? FC Barcelona seeks how to resolve the ‘Iñigo Martínez folder’
BARÇA COULD LEAVE THE BASQUE THIS SUMMER
The continuity of Iñigo Martínez in the FC Barcelona promises to generate an important debate of face to the course 2024/25. The one of Ondarroa is very valued in the institution by his sportive performance, being the only left-handed defender in the staff, and by his experience, that contributes to the group of young players. However, there is a solid argument in his against that it signals it like prescindible for the next campaign.
Because of the problems that the combined Barcelona confronted to the start of the course 2023/24 in relation with the registration of players in LaLiga, the exjugador of the Athletic alone Club could be registered for this period, remaining pending his registration for the new season 2024/25. To day of today, this registration does not seem to be an absolute priority for the club, that is more interested in reducing the mass salarial and perhaps would not see with bad eyes give off of a footballer whose gross wage rises to some 9 million euros in this campaign. It is necessary to stand out that the team will have to pay this quantity in his whole, even if they do not achieve to inscribe it, and the player will not renounce to this wage.
Likewise, Iñigo Martínez seems to be one of the footballers prescindibles in the necessary restructuring of the defensive plot of the combined Barcelonan, since with his presence, the number of defenders would reach the five, without explaining the return of Eric García and Clément Lenglet, and the possible promotion of Mika Faye to the first team. This would result in a ‘overbooking’ of eight defenders in the staff, a quantity exorbitante that requires to take decisions.
Iñigo Martínez would not have intentions to go out of the FC Barcelona
However, the exit of the ‘5’ of the Catalan group could complicate for the club culé if it poses this option. Why? As because apparently Iñigo Martínez has the intention to fulfil his agreement with the club in his whole and would not consider to abandon it. In fact, the ondarrés seems to be safe that it will continue in the FC Barcelona, since as it informs ‘Sportive World’, the team has not contacted it neither has warned him on this possibility.
In this moment, Iñigo Martínez is on holiday and does not have plans to interrupt them to look for a new team. To his time, expects that it was one of the present players from the first day of the pre-season of the FC Barcelona, that is programmed to begin on 10 July. During the pre-season, will have the uncertainty of if it will be or no footballer of the Barcelonan cast in the next season or if it will have to look for a new destination futbolístico.
