According to Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the agreement was already agreed back in March and will be announced by the Catalans very soon following Sunday’s conclusion of the 2022-23 La Liga season.

Martinez will sign a two-year deal for Xavi Hernandez’s men until 2025 and will compete for his place alongside fellow Spanish defender Eric Garcia, Dane Andres Christiensen, Jules Kounde, and potential new club captain Ronald Araujo, who has enjoyed an outstanding season in Catalonia.

So far in his career, Martinez has made 20 appearances for the Spanish national team, scoring once back in 2013.
