Girona FC is currently shaking up La Liga. Defensive talent Arnau Martínez also played a large part in the success of the surprise team, and his recent performances have apparently made him the focus of FC Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen.
Arnau Martínez from FC Girona is undoubtedly one of the greatest defender talents in Spain. With the U21 national team, for which the 20-year-old has appeared twelve times so far, the right-back narrowly missed out on winning the European Championship against England. Against the selection from the island, the end point was only in the final.
But things are also going well for the youngster at the club at the moment. With FC Girona, Martínez is currently, completely surprisingly, in second place in the La Liga table. The club from the north-east of Spain is currently causing a sensation beyond the country’s borders. After ten games, Girona has eight wins, one draw and one defeat.
FC Bayern faces tough competition for Arnau Martínez
Martínez also played a decisive role in this extremely positive balance. So far, the youngster has appeared on the pitch in six of ten league games for Girona. He got two assists. The right-footed player already attracted attention last season with three goals and four assists.
The full-back’s good performances have not gone unnoticed by various European heavyweights. According to “90min”, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City are particularly interested. An immense advantage for the Sky Blues: Girona, like the English champions, belongs to the City Football Group, which should make the negotiations much easier.
The online portal names two Bundesliga clubs, FC Bayern and Bayer 04 Leverkusen, who are also keeping a close eye on the developments of the young defender, who is tied to Girona until 2025. Munich scouts are said to have already examined Martínez in the stadium.
