The unpleasant news surrounding 27-year-old Inter Milan's second-choice goalkeeper, Josep Martinez, has sparked widespread discussion in Europe.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Martinez is currently in a very serious mental state, as the car accident he was involved in ended tragically.
According to reports, the incident occurred in a populated area in the Como region of Italy. The car driven by the footballer collided with an 81-year-old man in a wheelchair.
Despite the ambulance service and the fact that he was the first to rush to help, the citizen died at the scene.
According to preliminary information from the police, the elderly man's health deteriorated sharply during the movement in a wheelchair, and for this reason, he suddenly changed his direction and drove onto the highway. Currently, an investigation is underway into the causes of the incident and the degree of specific guilt.
Although Inter has not yet officially commented on the incident, it has been reported that the club's management has begun providing psychological support to Martinez.
Martinez is a product of Barcelona's academy in Spain. He began his professional career at Las Palmas, later playing for RB Leipzig in Germany and Genoa in Italy.
In 2024, Inter signed the skilled goalkeeper as an assistant to key goalkeeper Jan Sommer for €14 million.
Currently, the club and its coaching staff are closely monitoring the player's condition. Inter Milan fans have expressed moral support for Martinez on social media, hoping he will recover even after this tragedy.
Thus, one of the most discussed events in Italian football in recent days has been linked to Josep Martinez.
