Except for the last season, in the last courses at Girona, Quique Cárcel he was not able to make many decisions or start profiling the staff until well into the end of the year. The uncertainty of knowing which category would be played made the sports director have a plan A and a plan B amb many open operations waiting to be executed or not, depending on the category in which it was played. Now that has changed. He did it last year and this year, Cárcel can also work with the peace of mind of knowing one more season in Primera and, moreover, with the attractiveness of the team, it will most likely play in European competition . In this sense, Girona has been threading the needle for days and after renovating David Lopez until 2026 and Gazzaniga until 2027, the next thing to go through the offices to sign should be Arnau Martinez. According to Cadena SER, the Maresmen defender has accepted the renewal proposal and will see the contract extended and improved, which ended in 2025. The agreement allows Girona to tie up the player and prevent him from being able to sign freely for any other team from December. Of course, the toll is that the termination clause of defense will be reduced by five million i it will go from twenty to fifteen million euros.
Last summer was quite busy for Arnau Martínez. Apart from ending the season in July because he contested l’Euro Cup under 21 the grand premiere in Primera (33 games, 3 goals and 4 assists) attracted the attention of important clubs. So much so, in Montilivi there offers came. Some. From’Atlético de Madrid, the most important and which had interesting variables, and also German teams. None, however, came close to the twenty million in the clause nor to the minimum that the club was asking to let him go. All of this meant that Arnau had an entertaining summer and more seeing as the contract, renewed in January 2022had been left behind by the First Division.
Negotiations to extend and update Arnau’s contract began a long time ago. It seemed like there shouldn’t be any problems, but the loss of ownership this season has slowed the process. However, the club has always considered Arnau, for potential, a key player in the growth of the project and has never lost faith. Finally, it seems that the agreement is a reality and Arnau will continue in Montilivi, where he landed in the summer of 2018, aged fifteen, coming from the cadet of l’Hospitalet. Previously, he had also spent a few seasons for the planter del FC Barcelona. Since then, he has been burning stages at a record speed – he made his debut at the age of seventeen – until consolidating himself as one of the most important players in the first team, with whom he has already played 116 games (6 goals) at just 20 years old.
After Gazzaniga and David López and about to close Arnau, Girona continues to work to shore up the foundations of the squad for next season. Players like Ivan Martin o Daley Blind, signed last summer could also see their contracts updated.
