Once again, the Financial Fair Play law is preventing Barcelona from securing the continuation of its players next season.
This time, according to the newspaper “Marca”, it is about Inigo Martinez, whom the management wants to keep for another season, but so far it cannot do so.
Barcelona renewed the contracts of Pedri, Gavi, Ronald Araujo and Pau Coparsi, and there is no longer any room to renew the contract of another player.
Martinez’s contract is supposed to be automatically renewed once he plays 60% of the Blaugrana’s matches this season, and he is on the verge of achieving this.
The management of the Catalan club contacted Martinez and informed him that their desire is for him to continue, but it is not possible to renew automatically so far, so he must wait until a solution to the crisis is found.
At the present moment, there are correspondences between the Barcelona management and the Spanish League Association to try to reach a solution in the coming period.
The easiest solution for Barcelona is to wait until next summer and then get rid of a number of surplus players, then Martinez can be registered and other deals can be made.
It is worth noting that Inigo, 33, participated with Barcelona in 29 matches in all competitions and scored two goals in the Champions League, and his contract expires at the end of the current season.
