Arnau Martínez remains with Girona amid Valencia CF transfer talks

Arnau Martínez has been included in Girona FC's squad for their league opener against Leganés, despite ongoing transfer negotiations with Valencia CF. While Martínez has reportedly reached a personal agreement with Valencia, the two clubs have yet to finalize the terms of the transfer.

Girona is currently awaiting a second proposal from Valencia CF. The Catalan club is seeking an offer that more closely aligns with the player's release clause, specifically requesting a higher fixed amount rather than a deal primarily based on a percentage of a future sale.

Although Valencia intended to finalize the signing before the weekend to avoid the player participating in the first matchday, Martínez remains a Girona player and is expected to feature in the starting lineup. The player is reportedly eager to move following Girona's relegation and subsequent salary reductions.
