Inigo Martinez’s departure saves Barcelona 14 million euros in salary

[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, Inigo Martinez’s departure will save FC Barcelona 14 million euros in salary. The positive aspect of Inigo Martinez leaving is that the club has saved 14 million euros from its wage bill. Given that Barcelona has been striving to comply with the La Liga salary cap, this saving is a positive development, especially considering the uncertainty surrounding the registration of new signings Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford. However, Inigo Martinez’s departure is not enough to complete Joan Garcia’s registration, which remains their top priority. They are still waiting for the approval of 10 million euros from future benefits of the Camp Nou executive boxes and for it to be included in the budget. It is unclear whether this approval will be completed, or even if it will ultimately happen. From a purely footballing perspective, Inigo Martinez’s departure is a major loss, as he played a unique role in Barcelona’s squad. As the only left-footed center-back, his skill made him a key asset in offensive organization.
