Iñigo Martínez is the most expensive signing in Athletic’s history. The departure of Laporte to City, after payment of the 65 million of his termination clause, motivated the Bilbao club to follow the same path to cover said loss. Urrutia deposited the 32 kilos of the clause of the then central Real.
The ondarrutarra signed that January 2018 a contract as a lion for 5.5 seasons. Contract expiring in 2023.
When asked yesterday in Onda Vasca Bilbao about a possible renovation, Iñigo Martínez replied that “everything comes at the right time. Hopefully we will continue for more years. I am happy here, I am happy. Not only me, but one already has daughters and family counts too. The truth is that I am still happy and I keep coming back happy every day to train. The day it is the other way around, I will be the one to say enough, I need to change my scene ”.
The central player yesterday received his 73 kilos of weight in hamburger card as he was considered by Onda Vasca as “the rojiblanco player who put all the meat on the grill” last season. Prize donated to the Casa de la Misericordia in Bilbao.
