Another good news for Barcelona they signed Inigo Martinez for free.

Contract until 2025. Martinez is 32 years old and his 3-year contract means that Barcelona believes in the player's potential to play another 3 years at the highest level.
Also, Barcelona, as usual, put a huge amount of 400 million euros for the player, to block a possible transfer in the future.
Reliable and experienced defender will not hurt the team, the fact that last year Athletic Bilbao wanted 50 million euros for the player, but Barcelona preferred to wait and get the player for free. 
Barcelona have been lucky with transfers, they have recorded many successful deals with free players. Last summer they signed players for free and it certainly helped them cope with the financial restrictions, they were able to improve their squad and team performance. This window they are repeating the same strategy with signing Ingo Martinez on a free transfer, he has a wide range of experience and will no doubt bring improvement to their defense.
