Iñigo Martínez Secures Lucrative Two-Year Deal with Saudi Club Al-Nassr

Former Barcelona defender Iñigo Martínez has agreed to a two-year contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, a move that will see him earn a staggering €20 million per season. The deal, worth a total of €40 million, marks a significant financial milestone for the 34-year-old defender as he enters the twilight of his career.

Martínez recently mutually terminated his contract with Barcelona, where he was earning €6 million net per season, to pursue this "unrejectable" opportunity. The Spanish defender’s move to Al-Nassr aligns with the growing trend of high-profile players joining Saudi clubs for lucrative contracts. The report from Sport highlights the financial appeal of the deal, which provides Martínez with a final, substantial payday.

At 34, Martínez’s decision to capitalize on this opportunity is understandable, as it offers both financial security and a chance to contribute to Al-Nassr’s ambitions in the Saudi Pro League. His experience and defensive prowess will be valuable assets for the club as they aim to compete at the highest levels of Asian football.
