Deku explained Martines's departure from Barcelona

Last summer, the Barcelona team lost central defender Inigo Martinez. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He transferred to Saudi Arabia's Al-Nasr club as a free agent. "We wanted to keep all key players, but a special situation arose with Martinez," said Deku.

"He received an offer from Saudi Arabia. Considering his age, we had to allow him to finish his career as he wished.

This was seen as a gesture of gratitude for his services," emphasized the Catalan sports director to Mundo Deportivo. Inigo Martinez played for Barcelona for two years.

Overall, the 34-year-old footballer appeared in 71 matches for the team, scoring three goals and providing six assists. His participation was of great importance in the team's defense.

Martinez's departure was a significant loss for Barcelona, but the club respects his decision and wishes him success in the future. As the team prepares for the new season, it is working on strengthening the defensive line.
