If Pique plays less than 35% this season, Barcelona wants Martinez to replace Pique

Pique 's contract with Barcelona expires in 2024, however, according to the contract, if he does not reach 35% of the playing time this season, Barcelona can terminate his contract after the end of the season next summer.


According to the "World Sports Daily" report, Barcelona has selected a replacement. Barcelona are eyeing Inigo Martinez, the Athletic Bilbao centre-back whose contract expires next summer. In fact, in the transfer window this summer, Barcelona considered the introduction of Martinez, because at that time Chelsea launched a fierce attack on Conde, but Barcelona eventually got Conde.


In fact, there is a verbal agreement between Barcelona and Martinez 's agent, which is to agree that he will arrive at Camp Nou as a free agent next summer, but only if Martinez is a free agent.


For Athletic Bilbao, however, their choice of replacements is limited to the Basques, with a narrow range and Martinez is one of their leaders. Therefore, it is very difficult to bring Martinez from Athletic Bilbao. Athletic Bilbao wants to renew his contract with Martinez, but he knows that Xavi values him very much and hopes that he can go to Camp Nou. Martinez is currently more willing to wait.
