Inigo Martinez's Move: Al-Nassr's Strategic Signing
Inigo Martinez, the Spanish defender, has joined Al-Nassr after leaving Barcelona. This acquisition marks Al-Nassr's second big signing this summer, following Joao Felix from Chelsea. Martinez's contract, effective until 2026, reflects the Saudi Pro League club's strategic expansion in the football world.
Spanish defender Inigo Martinez has bolstered the ranks of Al-Nassr by joining the Saudi Pro League team following his departure from Barcelona. This move was announced on Sunday, marking another high-profile acquisition for Al-Nassr, who have also signed Portuguese forward Joao Felix from Chelsea this summer.
The club confirmed the contract, stating that Martinez has been signed as a free agent, continuing until 2026. The 34-year-old defender enjoyed a successful stint at Barcelona, winning a domestic treble last season, after starting his career at Real Sociedad and playing for Athletic Bilbao.
With 21 caps to his name, Martinez joined Barcelona in 2023. Al-Nassr, having recently extended Cristiano Ronaldo's contract, is gearing up to meet Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Super Cup semi-final, slated for 19 August.
