“It has to be renewed” – Hansi Flick calls Barcelona to agree the contract with the defender

Barcelona has had a spectacular start to the season, and during this run in the last three months, there have been many outstanding performers. One player who has been at a very high level is Inigo Martinez, although his performances have gone under the radar compared to his teammates.

Hansi Flick certainly appreciates the veteran centre-back, who has been a mainstay since the start of the season. On Saturday, he spoke about the situation of the 33-year-old contract, as per MD.

“His performances are very good. He is a leader. The team is very young and it is important to have experienced players. If he plays like this … Contract matters are not my task, but for my part, if he continues like this, he should be renewed. In the last games he has been incredible. He is an important player for us.”

Martinez may lose his place when Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen return Barcelona in the next two months. Even if he did, he proved that he deserves to stay in Catalonia for at least another season.
