Martinez is Inter’s second choice goalkeeper and provides depth behind the established starter.
These six months should be decisive in his career at Inter, with succession planning underway as a veteran. Yann Sommer nears the end of his contract.
His return would give Inter another option for a demanding European evening.
However, this would be one they probably wouldn’t need since Sommer continues to start most games.
