Catalan media: West Ham is interested in Girona fullback Arno Martinez, termination fee of 14 million euros

July 13, Catalan media TV3 reported that West Ham is interested in introducing Girona player Arno Martinez.

There is no doubt that Arno Martinez is one of Girona's most important assets, first of all, his market valuation is 10 million euros, secondly, his age is only 22 years old, and thirdly, his performance on the court. He has proved that he has the full strength to compete in La Liga. Because of this, there are many teams interested in him over the years, and during this summer transfer window, the Premier League is waving to him, and West Ham is chasing the player with all his might.

Although he is only 22 years old, Arno Martinez has played in nearly 100 La Liga games and is definitely not a newcomer to be crafted. As one of the first team captains, he is the main right-back under coach Michelle. From a competitive perspective, his departure will be a huge loss, but it will be of great benefit from an economic perspective. The termination fee is 14 million euros, and any offer close to that amount will be welcomed by Girona's top management.

According to TV3, the player has started direct negotiations with West Ham. If you convince him to embark on the Premier League journey, you only need to submit a reasonable offer to Girona, which is not difficult for the financially-heavy English club. If the negotiations go well, Arno will bid farewell to the team that allowed him to complete his professional transformation. He went to Barcelona and Ospitalet youth training camps in his early years. He made his debut in Francesco's coaching period at the age of 17, and he firmly took the main position that season.

Arno's potential departure will greatly weaken Girona's full-back reserves, and another main player, Miguel Gutierrez, is recovering from injuries and may switch to Serie A this summer. Therefore, sports director Kassel urgently needs to introduce full-backs, to be precise, at least two new players are needed. Although Blind has always been the leader of the left, the Dutch performed better in the central defender position, forcing Michelle to adjust the first choice of guards. The situation on the right is similar, although Francis was used, but its essence is a central defender rather than a fullback. It can be seen from this that the defensive areas of the two sides are undoubtedly the position Girona needs to strengthen the most at present.
