Valencia ‘to move’ for Arnau Martínez after green light from Singapore | OneFootball

Valencia CF have launched a move for Arnau Martínez, the leading name on their right-back shortlist despite the higher potential cost.

Tribuna Deportiva reports that the Mestalla club acted once they received the green light from Singapore to invest in a chronically weak position.

Valencia have tabled a five-season contract to secure the 23-year-old and make him Carlos Corberán’s first-choice on the right. With interest from elsewhere in Europe, they will need to go all out to convince him.

They must also strike a deal with Girona, relegated to Segunda División, who value a captain and standard-bearer but accept he is a Primera player. Valencia have more room under Financial Fair Play, though funds remain tight, so they will search for a structure that works.

Martínez has represented Spain at youth level and has been among LaLiga’s standout right-backs in recent seasons despite Girona’s drop. A balanced full-back, he defends reliably, joins attacks intelligently and is assured in build-up.
