Barcelona are confident of a deal for Athletic Bilbao defender Inigo Martinez.

Sport says Barcelona have had his signing under control for months, but there are teams trying to convince him to pick them.

The Athletic defender is close to a return to action after overcoming an injury that has kept him out of action since November.

Meanwhile, he is awaiting a final renewal offer from his club, but all indications are that he will end up leaving San Mames and that his top priority is to sign for Bara.

That does not mean that he is not listening to other proposals, though, and Inter, as well as Aston Villa and Atltico Madrid, have reportedly made enquiries.

His intention is to sign for Bara, who wanted him last summer. Everything is pending on whether Bara will be able to sign players because of LaLiga's salary limit and that creates some concern for the player's camp.
