Valencia CF raise offer to finalise Arnau Martínez deal | OneFootball

According to Superdeporte, Valencia CF are close to completing the signing of Arnau Martínez after raising their offer to Girona. The defender gave his approval weeks ago to a five-year contract, paving the way for intensified talks.

Corberán wants Arnau for his versatility, able to operate at wing-back and as a right-sided centre-back. With the recent arrival of Maffeo, the role would be covered and the back line could be strengthened.

The package is similar to last week at around six million across fixed and add-ons. The fixed fee has been increased and the variables reduced to persuade Girona. The Catalan club’s future sell-on percentage would also be trimmed.

The player’s camp have remained calm, expecting the clubs to resume negotiations in earnest this week to settle what they view as manageable differences. Those gaps now appear largely resolved.

Both clubs are working to close the deal, with final details understood to be the remaining focus.
