La Liga approves contract renewal of Barcelona veteran – report

Barcelona have been on a renewal spree ever since the club returned to the 1:1 rule, with the club announcing key deals for players like Gavi, Pedri and Ronald Araujo among others.

During this period, Barcelona have also reportedly reached an agreement with Inigo Martinez. But the announcement has been delayed due to issues over Financial Fair Play.

La Liga approves Martinez renewal
According to Mundo Deportivo, La Liga has now finally approved the Martinez renewal, in what could be a big boost for Barcelona.

The Spanish veteran’s contract in Catalonia expires at the end of the season. But there was a clause in his contract that would have allowed Barcelona to automatically extend his deal for another year, provided he played 60% of the matches this season.

Hansi Flick, as well as the Barcelona management, were sure about activating this clause in the wake of Inigo Martinez’s stellar performances this season.
