Barcelona to sign Inigo Martinez

The seasoned Spaniard is nearing the end of his deal with the Basque club and has not expressed any interest in extending, sparking questions about his future. During the summer transfer window, Barça showed interest in the 32-year-old, particularly when it appeared that their pursuit of Jules Kounde would fail. However, they were successful in getting the Frenchman, thus they decided against pressing for Martinez's signature.

Although they are aware that the Athletic Club star will become a free agent at the end of the current campaign, the Blaugrana have continued to show interest in him. At the end of the season, it was intended to sign him on a Bosman move. It would just be necessary to agree on a fair amount with Athletic while taking into account the player's contract status if the goal is to sign him in January.
