Josep Martinez seeks larger role at Inter as Dumfries joins Real Madrid
Inter goalkeeper Josep Martinez said he wants to become a key player for the club after spending most of the season on the bench behind starter André Onana. He highlighted his contributions in the Coppa Italia win and noted limited Serie A appearances, expressing frustration at not featuring more in the league and Champions League, where Inter were eliminated by Bodø/Glimt.
Martinez also spoke about his ambition to earn a place in the Spanish national team despite strong competition. Commenting on teammate Denzel Dumfries’ transfer to Real Madrid, he praised the Dutch defender’s speed, versatility and leadership, and predicted he will adapt well to Mourinho’s four‑defender system.
The interview underscored Martinez’s desire for more playing time, his respect for Inter’s recent domestic titles, and his optimism about both his own future and Dumfries’ role at Real Madrid.
