AC Milan continues to monitor the situation of Arnau Martínez, the right-back of Girona FC, with an eye on the winter transfer market.

The 22-year-old youngster, one of the most valuable pieces in Michel Sánchez's squad, is back on the Italian club's agenda after his departure did not materialize in the summer.

Arnau Martínez, a priority to strengthen the defense

AC Milan's interest is due to the need to reinforce the right flank, where Stefano Pioli has tested several alternatives without finding consistency yet. Martínez, who has played more than 120 official matches in La Liga, is known for his versatility as he can play as a full-back, center-back, or even defensive midfielder.

His €14 million release clause makes him an attractive target for a club seeking solidity at a reasonable price compared to other players in the European market.

Girona and the importance of keeping their captain

For Girona, Arnau's continuity is strategic. Michel has emphasized that the group must focus on the championship after the blow suffered in the 5-0 defeat against Villarreal. In this regard, the coach made it clear that his captain Arnau Martínez should be the leadership voice in the dressing room and convey commitment to the project.

The Catalan team has alternatives on the right flank, such as Alejandro Francés and Hugo Rincón, but the departure of the homegrown player would be a significant blow to the defensive depth, especially in a squad already featuring veterans like Daley Blind or David López.

Why Arnau fits in AC Milan

Arnau Martínez's versatility fits Allegri's style, who has used a formation with three center-backs and wing-backs. His ability to join the attack while maintaining tactical discipline makes him a profile very similar to what Milan has sought in recent markets.

Milan's challenge will be to convince Girona in January, as the Spanish club, in the midst of consolidation in La Liga, is not willing to weaken in the middle of the season. However, the clause amount leaves room for negotiations.

The potential arrival of Arnau Martínez at AC Milan would mark a significant step in the defender's career, who had already been on the radar of teams like Atlético Madrid and Barcelona. For the Italian club, it would represent a future investment and an immediate reinforcement for a team aiming to return to the elite of Europe.

It all depends on Girona's firmness in trying to retain him and Milan's strategy in the upcoming market.
