The player close to terminating his contract with Barcelona and flying to Italy: Milan takes him on a free transfer.
Last season was really disappointing for Barcelona, which started a new revolution starting from the technical direction, entrusting its bench to Hansi Flick. The former Germany coach has decided to embrace the Blaugrana cause taking the place of the sacked Xavi, but he expects reinforcements from the market that, to date, are slow in arriving.
Barcelona has not been going through a happy economic period lately and that is why the Catalan club is moving cautiously on the markettrying to avoid crazy spending that could weigh on the budget. In this regard, Barcelona is also working on sales to reduce its squad and save on wages and some players could leave for free in order to achieve this goal.
Among these there is Iñigo Martinez who is not part of Flick and Barça’s plans would be thinking of to terminate his contract in order to get rid of his salary and at that point the doors of Italy would open for the Basque defender, where Milan is strongly interested in him.
Milan, Iñigo Martinez idea: he could arrive for free from Barcelona
As reported by Todofichajes.com, AC Milan have shown significant interest in Iñigo Martinez in recent days who is destined to leave Barcelona, being out of the plans of the new coach Hansi Flick. The Catalans want to get rid of the Basque defender’s high salary and, given that no offers have arrived for him, there is now talk of a contract termination to allow the Blaugrana to breathe financially.
In this situation, according to the Spanish site, Milan are trying to insert themselves, having targeted the defender and are observing the evolution of things. If Barcelona were to terminate Martinez’s contract, then the Rossoneri would launch their assault on him convince the Basque player to join their cause.
For Iñigo Martinez there was initially talk of a possible return to Athletic Bilbao where he became great, but from San Mamés they made it known that the priorities on the market are different and his second adventure in Bilbao has been discarded. Without Athletic involved, Milan would have free reign in the race for the player, knowing full well that he would go to bet on a player with great international experiencecapable of making his mark with the Spanish national team and on a free transfer, he would undoubtedly be a great signing
