[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, when bidding farewell to Barcelona, Iñigo Martínez stated that ending his career with Barcelona and moving to Saudi Arabia to embark on a new professional journey represented a huge personal sacrifice for him, describing it as a genuine family and personal adventure. Plagued by injuries and intense pressure at the club, Iñigo decided to terminate his contract with Barcelona early and seek a fresh start in the ambitious and financially powerful Saudi league. As it has turned out, this has proven to be the right decision. Iñigo has been in outstanding form for Al Nassr. The former Barcelona defender has not only secured an undisputed starting spot in the team but also emerged as a role model for the side both on and off the pitch. Despite the enormous personal sacrifice, the financial rewards have been substantial. If Iñigo features in three more matches before the end of the season, he will automatically earn a one-year contract extension.
The editor believes that this is a huge recognition for Iñigo. Furthermore, this reward comes with an astonishing incentive: if Iñigo stays on for a second season, he will automatically earn $15 million.
