Mateu Alemany has already contacted the final supervisor of Athletic, and if the Basque membership doesn’t settle for, the central defender will signal for Barça totally free on 1 January
Barça are strengthening their protection and the membership has focused Athletic central defender Iñigo Martinez, who ends his contract with the Bilbao membership on 30 June 2023 and has not but renewed.
In response to sources near the negotiation, Barça director Mateu Alemany has already contacted Athletic common supervisor Jon Berasategi and offered an preliminary provide of fifteen million euros plus incentives for the central defender. The proposal appears too weak to be accepted by the Basque membership and in the meanwhile Barça just isn’t keen to extend its provide.
PLAYER PRESSURE
Iñigo Martinez, for his half, could be very captivated with Barça’s curiosity and can put stress on Athletic to let him go. He has no plans to resume his contract, so even when he’s unable to affix this summer season, he can signal for Barça from 1 January.
