In the summer of 2025, 'Barcelona' sold its central defender Iñigo Martínez to the Saudi club 'Al-Nassr'. According to Diario SPORT sources, the head coach of the 'blaugrana', Hans-Dieter Flick, wanted to keep the experienced player in his squad.
As the source writes, Flick never publicly stated this, but he was against the transfer of the 34-year-old footballer. The German coach was left unhappy with the development of the situation and the defender’s move to Saudi Arabia.
In the latest match, 'Barcelona' suffered a painful defeat against 'Chelsea' (0:3) in the main round of the Champions League.
