The FC Barcelona keeps very attentive to the situation of Iñigo Martínez inside the AthleticBilbao . The defender has a valid agreement until June and the Basque group still has not done him arrive any proposal of renewal, what leaves his future inside Saint Mamés in cloth of trial of face to the next market of summer.
The Barcelona already tried his incorporation during the last window estival but the limitations of the Fair Play financial made impossible his landing because they could not him inscribe. It is thus that now keep to the expectation with his incorporation, since they consider him a key reinforcement although they will go back to depend of the 'ok' of LaLiga to register him in the first team.
However, further of the financial limitations, the true is that the own footballers would want to defend the colours of the Barça of face to the 2023/24. Like this it has it desvelado the newspaper 'SPORT', the one who sustains that the central will prioritise the proposal of the culés above any another team, including the Athletic of Madrid, those who have interested in ficharle in the last days.
To his 31 years, Iñigo has two characteristics that like a lot to Xavi and that turn him into an exemplary incorporation for the defence. The first of them is his knowledge of the Spanish football and the big hierarchy that has construído in his 12 seasons in First Division. The second is that it is left-handed natural, a profile that the technician does not have in his position inside the staff.
The side, to the expectation?
Although the exit of Gerard Hammered left an open vacancy, also is important to stand out that the Barcelona is in research of a right side. The signing of the ondarrés would leave entirely covered the axis of the saga and the side could become only and exclusively for Jules Koundé. The French prefers to play of head office but Xavi has gone him adapting to the band, to the point to be indisputable headline on other names of the team. The renewal of Sergi Roberto would bend the position and so much Marcos Alonso like Jordi Alba would be the reliefs of Alejandro Balde by the left in case to need him by the contrary sector.
