At 35, Iñigo Martínez is enjoying his vacation, after an excellent season and a title in the Saudi Pro League. The defender, currently in the colors of Al-Nassr, has chosen to extend the adventure for another season in Saudi Arabia. The former FC Barcelona player knows that he can still progress far from Europe, despite his age. Recently, the Spaniard spoke to Sporton his journey in the Middle East, but also on the news of the Blaugrana club.

Asked about Anthony Gordon and his express arrival in Catalonia this week, Martínez was frank. “It all depends on the type of player you are looking for. For me, he is a player who presses, who exerts himself enormously and who has very good technical quality. But this does not necessarily guarantee immediate success. There is the pressure linked to big clubs and competition within the squad. There are a lot of very good players in these positions” he told the media.
