Arnau very close to Valencia as Girona warm to final bid | OneFootball

Arnau Martínez is edging towards a move from Girona to Valencia, with the latest proposal viewed very favourably in Montilivi. According to AS, the full-back would sign a five-year deal if the transfer is completed.

Girona would need a new captain, with the club poised to approve an offer worth around five million euros guaranteed plus a further one in add-ons, and a sell-on percentage also discussed. Other clubs remain interested, so a late bid could still complicate a deal that currently looks well advanced.

From the outset Girona insisted any suitor pay the eight million euro release clause. Valencia’s opening five million euro bid was rejected, then they waited for Ferran Torres’s sale to PSG, which brought one million euros into Paterna.

Talks have since moved forward as the sides narrowed differences over structure and clauses.

Arnau has played 90 minutes and worn the armband in each of Girona’s first two league matches, earning an ovation at Montilivi. With a Valencia move close, he may already have played his last minutes for the club, at least in the short term.
