Barcelona has made the first offer for the transfer of the defender of Athletic (Bilbao) Inigo Martinez. The blue-garnet offered € 15 million for the 32-year-old football player. According to the source, the Basque club will refuse such an offer and try to persuade Martinez to extend the contract expiring in the summer of 2023.

Earlier it was reported that Barcelona is ready to sign Martinez as a free agent in a year and refused his transfer due to the purchase of Jules Cunde from Sevilla. A few years ago, Barcelona could have signed Martinez from Real Sociedad, but refused to pay €32 million in compensation for him. In January 2018, Athletic did this by signing a long-term contract with the player.
