Arnau Martínez’s mother speaks after Girona match amid Valencia negotiations | OneFootball

Arnau Martínez’s future remains a live saga, with Valencia CF making the right-back their priority, agreeing terms with him and seeking to reduce Girona’s asking price.

With the deal still unresolved, Martínez started Girona’s opening Liga Hypermotion fixture, a night overshadowed by controversy as some players close to the exit refused to feature. The most notable case was Viktor Tsygankov, who, according to Quique Álvarez, declined to get changed despite being in the squad.

Martínez did play, wearing the armband, and was applauded by the home crowd, including his mother. His mother, active on social media, posted after the match that she was proud of the person he is becoming, praising his professionalism and his habit of giving everything without expecting anything in return to feel at peace.

The defender is entering the final year of his contract and is almost certain to leave Montilivi this summer.

The coming hours are key for all parties. Valencia CF want him at Mestalla on Saturday, but a final agreement must still be reached.
