Barcelona appear to be on a roll lately. Last week, the club announced the renewal of star defender Ronald Araujo. This week, the club have managed to reach an agreement with Pedri over a long-term deal.
It doesn’t end there as Barcelona are reportedly expected to hold a key meeting with midfield sensation Gavi today, who will pen a new contract.
But apart from Gavi, Barcelona may have one more renewal lined up today, in the form of Inigo Martinez.
According to Alfredo Martinez (h/t FCB World), Inigo Martinez is expected to sign his contract renewal today.

This also goes with earlier reports which suggested that Barcelona have Inigo’s renewal lined up this week.
Martinez’s current contract at Barcelona expires in 2025. But the new deal will likely see him remain at the club for another season, until 2026.
The timing of Martinez’s potential contract extension coincides with his return to part training with the group, which in turn, marks a crucial step in his recovery.
The veteran centre-back has been struggling with a hamstring injury, which saw him miss the last couple of matches for the Blaugrana.
But now, with the defender nearing a return to the pitch, a contract extension could serve as an ideal catalyst as far as his confidence and performances are concerned.
