Arnau Martínez, 23-year-old right-back from Girona, is hoping that Valencia CF will make a formal offer in the coming days. Carlos Corberán has already spoken with the player, but the club needs to free up salary space and generate income before pursuing a deal, conditioned by an €8 million release clause.

Despite interest from Bundesliga teams and Italian football clubs, the defender has prioritized Valencia. However, his decision to wait depends on Valencia turning their discussions into a concrete proposal for both the player and Girona.

Arnau Martínez agrees to wait for Valencia CF

Corberán has identified Arnau Martínez as his top choice to strengthen the right-back position. The coach has directly explained to him the role he would play in the squad, and the player sees favorably the chance to return to LaLiga with Valencia.

Valencia CF has used these talks to buy time while rearranging their squad. Although an agreement hasn't been reached with Martínez, he has opted not to advance with German and Italian teams inquiring about his situation at this time.

The wait won't be open-ended. The right-back needs a financial offer and to learn how Valencia plans to negotiate his rights with Girona, where he is under contract until June 30, 2027.

The relegation of the Catalan team has lowered his release clause to €8 million. This amount remains above Valencia's immediate margin, prompting them to consider either acquiring full rights or initially negotiating for a portion.

André Almeida's departure would unlock the deal

The move hinges primarily onAndré Almeida. Swansea has put forth an offer of €3.5 million plus variables for the Portuguese midfielder, who extended his contract with Valencia until 2029, but has yet to agree to a move to the Championship.

His sale would generate funds to pursue the signing and free up space within the salary cap. Without Almeida's approval, Valencia lacks the leeway to present a viable proposal to Girona.

The club also aims to cut down the number of players in the squad before making new additions. Arnau Martínez is the top priority for the right-back position, yet Corberán additionally requires activity in other areas before the market closes.

Girona is aware of Valencia's interest, but no offer to initiate negotiations has been received. The club may refer to the €8 million clause, particularly if competing offers with greater financial capacity surface.

An alternative of €35 million

Valencia has another option if Almeida's departure is stalled. The club is considering capitalizing on a €35 million debt from Peter Lim, a financial move that could broaden their scope for signings through August.

This action is not yet activated and its implementation hinges on market needs. The primary approach remains to generate revenue through sales, averting a situation where the fullback's arrival hinges on a broader economic decision.

The next step falls to Valencia CF: they must submit a written offer before the player looks to other suitors. For now, Arnau Martínez remains willing to wait, but Girona and his representatives will demand concrete progress in the following days to keep the deal alive.
