Barcelona defender has been registered for just one season despite two-year contract, confirms La Liga president

La Liga president Javier Tebas has provided a detailed explanation regarding Barcelona’s Financial Fair Play and registration situation.

In doing so, the La Liga supremo has revealed that even though Barcelona handed Inigo Martinez a two-year contract in the summer, he is registered for only one year.

Indeed, as per Mundo Deportivo, Tebas, in retort to a news published by Spanish publication El Espanol, provided a detailed picture of Barcelona’s FFP picture.

While doing that, the La Liga president let it slip that Martinez has been registered for just one season.

The veteran defender arrived at Barcelona during the summer transfer window, arriving on a free transfer after his contract had expired at Athletic Club.

The seasoned campaigner signed a two-year contract with Barça and has grown into an important part of the team, although injury has limited his influence.

Either way, Tebas reveals that Martinez is registered only for a season, although, Barcelona are expected to take care of the matter in the summer, when they hopefully find themselves in better final situation.

“Gavi was already registered and that Íñigo Martínez is registered for a single season,” he said, before recalling that “in addition to squad reductions of more than €100 million, they have sold players for €70/80 million”.
