Iñigo Martínez Leaves Barcelona to Join Al Nassr

Iñigo Martínez has decided to leave Barcelona to join Al Nassr, where he will team up with Cristiano Ronaldo. The Spanish defender's decision surprised Barcelona, as he was a key member of the team.

Martínez's transfer will free up 14 million euros in Barcelona's salary budget, helping the team comply with Financial Fair Play. Martínez did not ask for compensation for his departure, despite having a contract until June 2026.

Al Nassr offered Martínez an annual salary close to 20 million euros, with a 1+1 year contract. Last season, Martínez made 46 appearances for Barcelona, scoring three goals and providing six assists.
