Girona defender Arnau Martinez was one of the revelations of the season last year, but has found his involvement significantly reduced. After links to Atletico Madrid and Barcelona last summer, his contract situation is attracting much less attention this year.
Arnau Martinez has been a player in-demand over the last 12 months. The likes of Bayer Leverkusen, Inter Milan and Barcelona have all been linked with the 20-year-old defender, who is very highly-rated across Spanish football.
Given their incredible start to the season, it’s hardly a surprise that multiple Girona players are attracting interest from across Europe. One that is a wanted man is Arnau Martinez, who is seen as one of the best young right-back across the continent.
Barcelona look set to re-address their right-back situation next summer. Joao Cancelo is the only recognised natural option that Xavi Hernandez has in his first team squad, and the Portuguese is only on loan for the season from Manchester City.
Although we haven’t reached the halfway point of this season yet, AC Milan are already looking at options for the next one. With a potential right-back replacement on the cards, Arnau Martinez has ended up on their radar. Davide Calabria has done a good job at the start of this season and as the captain of the team, that is what you would expect.
AC Milan were linked with a few right-backs during the summer transfer window and a new profile has ended up on their radar in Arnau Martinez, according to a report.
Looking ahead to the 2024 summer transfer window, it is highly expected that one of the areas that Real Madrid will look to address is at full-back. Alphonso Davies has been heavily linked with joining from Bayern Munich, and could well be available on a cut-price deal.
Without doubt, one of the breakout stars of the 2022/23 LaLiga Santander season was Arnau Martnez, the youngster who dominated the right flank for Girona FC as the Catalan club finished 10th in their first year back in the top flight.
Barcelona are set to revive their interest in Girona defender Arnau Martinez this summer alongside La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid. The 20-year-old has continued to develop into one of the best right backs in the Spanish top flight, across the last 12 months, and Xavi is weighing up a possible move to bring him back to the club.
Girona manager Michel Sanchez has singled out rising star Arnau Martinez for special praise after his performance against Real Madrid, and in particular Vinicius Junior.
Girona sporting director Quique Carcel has sung the praises of fullback Arnau Martinez. Martinez has been linked with Atletico Madrid. Carcel told AS: "He is a very young player, who is making steps forward in his career and the truth is that he is jumping obstacles remarkably.
