Rayo and Racing eye Iván Martín after Girona relegation | OneFootball

Iván Martín could leave Girona after relegation to Segunda. According to as.com, Rayo and Racing are exploring a move, and the 27-year-old hopes to keep playing in Spain’s top flight.

Newly promoted Racing need central midfielders after the exits of Peio Canales and Damián Rodríguez. There are also fears that Puerta could depart. Chema Aragón, the club’s sporting director, previously signed Martín for Mirandés in 2020.

Rayo have only brought in Kumbulla following Trejo’s retirement and Gumbau’s exit. With August ticking away, Cobeño may need to act soon.

Panathinaikos and several clubs in Türkiye are also considering him, backed by strong salary budgets.

Even so, Girona will not let him leave easily. Martín is under contract until 2028 and is a fixture in their midfield. The club need to free up squad places to address the defence, but not at any price.

It is set to be an intense few weeks for Girona, Iván Martín and his entourage.
