From the culé club they continue to make the squad for the following season, but the arrival of the Basque could have implications
inigo martinez He is one of the defenders destined to reach FC Barcelona. The Athletic Club footballer will not renew his contract with the lions and this has given the Blaugrana great opportunities to advance his signing. With his arrival, Xavi will be able to complete a broad axis of defense for the necessary rotations in the following season.
Let’s remember that Iñigo Martínez has been in the orbit of FC Barcelona for a long time and now that he will be released, his arrival will be easier. Both Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany know that they have a top operation and that it could accommodate the economic reality of the team. Of course, this could bring problems to the team from its subsidiary.
Iñigo Martínez will be a FC Barcelona footballer, but his arrival will have consequences for the subsidiary
In this way, it has been possible to establish that the whim for the Athletic center-back would already have a victim. He is an outstanding Barça Atlètic footballer who has had a very important progression. We are talking about Chadi Riad, a 19-year-old Moroccan who was hoping for an opportunity in the first team.
With the arrival of Iñigo Martínez it will be quite difficult for the player from the FC Barcelona subsidiary to have opportunities. This has put a rather complex panorama for Joan Laporta, who will have to make decisions in this regard. The performance of the central defender has been key and has not gone unnoticed throughout Europe.

Precisely, one of the clubs that has been in the defender’s footsteps is FC Waalwijk from the Netherlands. Last year they made a first approach with the young talent, which could not be closed as expected. Now, they will have more chances, although recently, the culés extended the footballer’s link until 2024.
It will be necessary to wait then for what can happen with the arrival of Iñigo Martínez to FC Barcelona. At the moment, it seems that some pieces that have been making a career at the club to be protagonists in the first team will have to wait. Xavi will be the one who finally makes the decision, although one of his requests was that of Ondarroa.
