**Juventus** has launched a key move in the **transfer market** to strengthen the right side of their defense, as reported by [Tuttosport](https://www.tuttosport.com/).
The Turin club, coming off an irregular season in **Serie A**, has intensified contacts for the Spanish player **Arnau Martínez**, a key piece of **Girona** and one of LaLiga's most promising young talents.
Juventus aiming for stability on the right flank
The Italian team's priority is clear: to secure a right-back with potential, versatility, and top-level experience. After a season where they were surpassed by **Napoli** and **Inter Milan** in the title race, the club led by **Igor Tudor** understands the need to reinforce specific areas to avoid falling behind again in the battle for the **Scudetto**.
Arnau Martínez's profile fits perfectly. At 22 years old, he has already played over 100 matches with Girona, showcasing the ability to perform as a wing-back, center-back in a back three, or even in more advanced positions. His **tactical versatility** and defensive commitment are qualities that make him an attractive asset for any tactical setup.
Arnau Martínez between Girona and European temptation
The Catalan player is under contract with **Girona** until 2027, giving the club room to negotiate. The board is seeking between 10 and 12 million euros for his transfer, a sum feasible for **Juventus**, which plans to use part of the income from Weah to close the deal.
From England, several **Premier League** teams, including Crystal Palace, have also shown interest in the player, putting pressure on the Turin side. Additionally, **Milan** has inquired about Arnau's situation as they aim to reinforce the same position.
Despite the rumors, the player remains focused on the new season with Girona, where he serves as one of the captains. "My only thought is on the club and competing at the highest level," he reportedly commented in his close circle, indicating he won't push for a departure.
In the previous season, Arnau played 33 **LaLiga** matches, providing two assists and establishing himself as a trusted player for Míchel Sánchez. His ability to recover balls (2.1 per game on average) and his reliability in defensive duels (62% success rate) are statistics that have convinced the **Juventus** coaching staff. He only played 56 minutes in the first two LaLiga matches of the current season.
An intriguing deal for Juventus
Furthermore, his market value, estimated at 10 million euros, makes him an **affordable opportunity** in an increasingly inflated market. For Girona, letting him go would be a significant sporting blow, although economically it would allow them to strengthen other positions.
Arnau Martínez's future will depend on three factors: Girona's willingness, the player's decision, and **Juventus**' final offer. For now, the defender continues training under Míchel's command, but his name is already one of the most mentioned in the final stretch of the **transfer market**.
If the deal is finalized, the Italian club would not only secure a reliable full-back but also a player with room for growth who could become a strategic piece to compete in **Serie A** and in Europe.
