Real Sociedad defender Inigo Martinez has come up with some pretty interesting quotes and reckons he could have joined Barcelona last summer.
The defender says club president Jokin Apperibay got involved and tried to persuade the Blaugrana not to sign the centre-back.
“Aperribay did not keep his word and did nothing to keep me with La Real,” he told Marca.
“I previously renewed with La Real when Athletic Club wanted to sign me, that’s because I reached an agreement with the club when that was the best option for me.
