According to official information, Martinez signed a contract with the Saudi club and joined them as a free agent. It is stated that the agreement will be valid until the end of 2026. This means he will play at least two more seasons as one of Al Nassr’s key figures.

While playing for the Catalans, Martinez scored 3 goals and provided 6 assists. These figures show that, despite being a defender, he was also actively involved in attacking plays.

Playing in Saudi Arabia may open new opportunities for Martinez. In Al Nassr, he is expected to make his mark not only in the domestic championship but also in prestigious tournaments at the Asian level. In addition, he will play alongside stars already renowned on the international stage.
