Similar salary as in Bilbao
FC Barcelona have announced the transfer of Iñigo Martínez, which has been expected for months. The 32-year-old central defender joins the Catalans on a free transfer following the end of his contract with Athletic Bilbao. He signed a working paper until 2025, which officials say includes a €400m release clause.
The change has been considered perfect since March, but the official announcement was delayed because the central defender initially wanted to keep an eye on the unclear situation surrounding the financial problems and registration of newcomers to the Spanish champions. With those stones cleared, Barça could now unveil their second free transfer to Ilkay Gündogan (32; Manchester City).
