The head coach of the "Barcelona" team, Hans Dieter Flick, announced that the likelihood of a new central defender being offered to replace the departed Inigo Martinez is very low. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Flick, he plans to discuss this matter with the sports director Deco. It should be noted that Martinez and "Barcelona" have decided to terminate the contract by mutual agreement.
Martinez has agreed to move to the Saudi Arabian club "Al-Nassr." The reason is that his salary will double there.
Martinez played 71 matches for "Barcelona" over two years. During this time, he became the Spanish champion with the team and won the country’s cup and Supercup.
The club management has not yet reached a definitive decision regarding the transfer of a new central defender. Flick emphasized that they plan to continue the season with the current squad.
At the same time, the club management continuously analyzes the needs of the team.
