After showing a solid performance against Barcelona in the last La Liga fixture, Inigo Martinez is now under the Catalan radar.
This season Barcelona have definitely struggled not only in winning silverware but also in other departments.
Firstly, they lost the Champions League and the Spanish La Liga; however, the biggest lost is probably of their coach, Josep Guardiola, who announced that he will be departing for the Nou Camp after this season.
This season, the former Spanish champions have seen how they struggled defensively, especially when Eric Abidal and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique were out injured and Guardiola had to play second-choice players to fill the void left by these two players.
Therefore, with Tito Vilanova being in charge for the next season, he will definitely look for defensive options and the Real Betis defender, Inigo Martinez looks like one of the players who can join the Catalan giants in the next season.
Barcelona have already tried getting in touch with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-c34888 Silva and Javi Martinez, but it has been reported that their respective clubs are not interested in selling their players.
Hence, the Catalan giants are looking for suitable replacements and at least two defenders will be making way to the Nou Camp during the upcoming summer transfer window.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903’s option closed down, Inigo Martinez looks like the perfect fit for the Catalan giants.
The young 21-year-old defender has a 30 million Euros buyout clause and with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 lining up a bid for him, the offer will definitely be hard to resist.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468 currently has 3 years left in his contract and the Spanish giants will try their best to lure the youngster since he is not only a player for the present, but also for the future.
The young centre-back has been playing in the heart of defence throughout this season and his most remarkable feat came against Athletic Bilbao, where he did not only help his team defensively, but also managed to score a goal from his own half.
