Athletic made Inigo Martinez of Real Sociedad the most expensive Spanish defender of La Liga.

Athletic officially announced the acquisition of defender Inigo Martinez at Real Sociedad.

Selling Emerica Laporta in Manchester City for 70 million euros, Athletic immediately found him a replacement in the face of Inigo Martinez. The contract Martinez with Real Sociedad operated until 2021, but Athletic activated Klausul Inigo, which was 32 million euros. This amount is the largest ever paid by the Spanish La Liga club for the Spanish defender.

Martinez, who played for La Real 205 matches in the championship of Spain, will be the thirteenth football player in history, speaking for both leading teams of the Basque Country.
