Inigo Martinez transfers from Barcelona to Al-Nassr

• Martinez transfers to Al-Nassr on a free transfer.
• Barcelona receives an economic benefit after his departure.
• The defender has been an important part of the team for two seasons.

Inigo Martinez, Barcelona's defender, is moving to Al-Nassr on a free transfer. The 34-year-old footballer still has one year left on his contract with the Catalan club, but the club did not block his departure.

This transfer will ensure Barcelona an economic benefit after his departure, allowing them to register new players, such as Marcus Rashford, before the upcoming season. Martinez joined Barcelona in July 2023, signing a contract for three years.

During two seasons at Barcelona, he became an important part of the team, playing 71 matches and scoring three goals and six assists. In the previous season, he became a regular player in the starting lineup under the management of Xavi Hernandez.

At Al-Nassr, Martinez will sign a one-year contract with the possibility of extending it for another year. He is likely to replace Aymen Laporte, who may return to Athletic Bilbao.
