Barcelona Impressed with Veteran Defender, Aims to Extend His Contract

Barcelona has been impressed by veteran defender Iñigo Martínez and is looking to extend his contract.

Details: According to Sport, Barcelona has been particularly impressed with Martínez's performances this season, leading to a decision that he will not leave the club next summer. His current contract is set to expire in June, and while it is on course for an automatic one-year extension, there are talks of offering him a new deal.

Reminder: Barcelona has been enjoying a strong season so far, despite a recent defeat to Real Sociedad. Several players have stood out under Hansi Flick's management, including Martínez, who has formed a solid defensive partnership with Pau Cubarsi, who is nearly half his age.

Barcelona is also reportedly prepared to part ways with Andreas Christensen, who has attracted interest from Premier League clubs.
