Barcelona are confident of packing a contract extension for Inigo Martinez before the end of 2024.
La Blaugrana aims to push for the The League title in 2025 with Martinez developing into an experienced leader in Hansi Flick back line.
The terms of Martinez's current contract trigger an automatic extension if he plays more than 60% of Barcelona's official games this season.
The 33-year-old is on course to surpass that benchmark with ease, but Barcelona are unwilling to allow the situation to drag on into the final six months of his deal, from the start of 2025.
According to reports from Fichajes.netthe club is working on a renewal for him, to ensure that he remains in their team for the 2025/26 campaign.
Martinez has amassed 389 La Liga appearances in his long career, which stretches back to 2011, and is expected to break the 400 mark after signing a renewal in Catalonia.
