Barcelona plans to extend Iñigo Martínez's contract

In recent weeks, Barcelona has successfully secured new deals for several key players, and more contract extensions are expected in the near future.

The details. One of the players firmly in the club’s plans is Iñigo Martínez. The experienced defender has had an impressive season so far, and with his current contract set to expire at the end of June, work is already underway to secure a 12-month extension, according to Marca.

Martínez is close to triggering an automatic one-year extension clause in his contract, but before it takes effect, Barcelona has been working on finalizing a new deal to eliminate any uncertainty. The process is nearly complete, with the finalization delayed due to Financial Fair Play constraints.

This season, the 33-year-old defender has made 29 appearances across all competitions, scoring twice.

Background. Previously, Barcelona’s sporting director Deco confirmed that the club is also looking to extend Wojciech Szczęsny’s contract.
