With FC Barcelona already beginning to fully incorporate and close down operations with the urgency that was required of them from day one of the transfer window, things have been progressing smoothly within Catalonia and its most decorated club.
Before even the beginning of July, La Blaugrana have managed to incorporate a handful of signings to both the main first team and the subsidiary sides as well.
The latest signing to have been made official was that of Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan, who has joined FC Barcelona as a free agent for the upcoming two seasons with the option for a third as well.
The Catalans have been quite active in the market for free transfers and players that have contracts expiring soon, and having made official the signing of Gundogan, they can now move towards their other 32-year-old summer acquisition who comes on a free transfer as well.
According to a recent report by SPORT, they highlight a particular video released by Athletic Bilbao defender Inigo Martinez in which he bids farewell to his Basque club amidst the heavy reports of his signing with FC Barcelona that was finalized quite a while ago.
Logically, the report believes the Spanish central defender will be the next in line to be unveiled as a Barcelona player as the Catalans now look to close down operations that they have already advanced to an extreme degree.
The registrations of previously renewed players and the official news of the signing of Inigo Martinez will be the next steps for FC Barcelona, as the 32-year-old free agent is now on the verge of becoming the newest entry in a type of transfer for Barca that has included the likes of Memphis Depay, Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, and Ilkay Gundogan among others in recent times.
