Ammon News - Lamine Yamal has paid tribute to departing defender Inigo Martinez, who is set to leave Barcelona as a free agent to join Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Yamal shared a heartfelt message for the experienced centre-back, writing: "Gracias por todo mi capitán" (Thank you for everything, my captain).

The message shows the deep respect Yamal holds for Martinez, who served as a mentor and leader during his time at FC Barcelona.

Martinez's move to Al Nassr will see him join a growing list of European stars heading to Saudi Arabia, including Cristiano Ronaldo, who already leads the Riyadh-based club.

For Yamal, who continues to rise as one of football’s most promising young talents, he still has a long way to go at Barcelona. Tribuna
