Inigo Martínez, a key player for FC Barcelona, will join Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. The transfer is confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Martínez will terminate his contract with Barcelona immediately and join Al-Nassr as a free agent. He will sign a contract until June 2026, with an option to extend for another season until June 2027. His departure is seen as a cost-saving measure for Barcelona, who can use the saved funds to register new players.

Iñigo Martínez, aged 34, is reportedly on the verge of transferring to Al-Nassr, the team associated with Cristiano Ronaldo. The central defender from FC Barcelona is currently in negotiations with the Saudi Arabian club, according to market specialist journalist Matteo Moretto. Although Martínez has one year remaining on his contract with an option to extend for an additional season, the interest from the Saudi team has altered these plans. Al-Nassr has been in the market for a replacement for Aymeric Laporte, who is reportedly nearing a move to Athletic Club. The offer from Al-Nassr is said to be highly attractive to Martínez, prompting him to discuss his departure. This potential move could impact FC Barcelona's summer transfer strategy, enabling them to register other players and preventing the departure of another central defender. Martínez, who missed the last two preseason matches in Japan and Korea due to muscle fatigue, is reportedly finding the financial proposal from Al-Nassr challenging to resist.
