Iñigo Martínez Set to Join Al Nassr After Barcelona Exit

Iñigo Martínez is set to join Al Nassr after reaching an agreement to terminate his contract with Barcelona with immediate effect. The Spanish defender will move to the Saudi Pro League side as a free agent, signing a deal that runs until June 2026, with an option to extend for a further season until June 2027.

Despite recently extending his stay at Barcelona until 2026, Martínez is now poised for a surprising exit. Reports indicate that the move is nearly finalised, with all parties close to reaching a full agreement. His departure will provide Barcelona with some relief amid squad registration constraints and an overcrowded centre-back position.

The 34-year-old centre-back, who had formed a solid partnership with Pau Cubarsí under Hansi Flick, is expected to bring leadership and experience to Al Nassr’s defensive line. The deal marks another major signing for the Saudi club as they continue to strengthen their squad with high-profile European talent.
