Arnau Martínez, a 23-year-old defender from Girona, remains on Valencia's agenda for this transfer market. The main sticking point is financial: Girona holds firm to an €8 million release clause following their relegation to the Segunda División. 

Arnau Martínez, Valencia's top priority for the right-back position

Valencia has made progress with Martínez on a personal level. The player has accepted Valencia's proposal, which includes a five-season contract and a salary improvement compared to his current terms at Girona. 

The interest also corresponds to a specific need within the squad. Carlos Corberán has identified Martínez as a target for the right-back position, a position affected by Foulquier's injury, who will miss the early games of the season, and Thierry Correia leaving on a free transfer.

Meanwhile, Girona has not approved the conditions proposed by Valencia. The Catalan club continues to assess Martínez's departure around €8 million, the amount set in his clause after the relegation. 

Valencia seeks a way to reduce costs

Valencia is exploring a different operation than paying the full release clause. One of the options being considered is paying around €4 million for a percentage of Martínez's rights, with variables or conditions tied to a future transfer. 

For now, Girona has no intention of facilitating the transfer below the €8 million mark. Negotiations are ongoing, but the disparity between Valencia's proposal and the Catalan club's valuation is keeping the final agreement pending. 

Girona and Valencia accelerating before the league debut

Martínez enters negotiations after a season with 38 matches played at Girona in La Liga, where he scored 2 goals and provided 6 assists. His contract with the Catalan team runs until June 2027. 

The reduction of the clause is directly linked to Girona's relegation. The €8 million amount has made Martínez an achievable target for several clubs, following interest from other parties during the transfer window, including Betis, Fulham, and PSV. 

The current scenario has Valencia waiting to convince Girona on the economic structure of the deal. Mestalla's club aims to finalize the signing before the start of LaLiga, set for August 22, as negotiations continue between the parties. 

The next move will be crucial: Valencia will need to enhance its proposal or come closer to the €8 million clause, while Girona maintains its stance. If an agreement is reached in the coming days, Arnau Martínez could become Corberán's chosen reinforcement for the right-back position.
