Goodbye to Barca? Atleti have already made an offer to Inigo Martinez

There are many names that will be mentioned in the next transfer window and one of them will be that of Inigo Martinez. The centre-back finishes his contract with Athletic Club in June this year and several teams are after him.

One of them, and the one that has been most talked about, has been the 'Cules', as he would meet the conditions demanded in Barcelona: a left-footed defender who arrives for free. If we add to all this his experience in La Liga, the Spain international is the perfect target.

However, it won't be a bed of roses for the Catalan giants and his arrival is far from guaranteed. What's more, it seems that Atletico Madrid have overtaken them. According to 'El Partidazo de COPE', the 'Colchonero' team have already made him an offer.

The squad coached by Cholo Simeone is not going through its best moment by any stretch of the imagination and there are doubts that they can reach the fourth place in the Champions League next season. They are also out of all European competitions.

That's why the option of Inigo Martinez makes a lot of sense at the Metropolitano, especially after the defensive slump with Savic's red card and Gimenez's injuries.
