Juventus have expressed interest in signing Girona right-back Arnau Martínez
Young Spanish full-back fits the club’s need for versatility and depth
Juventus has set its sights on Arnau Martínez, Girona’s rising right-back, as part of its ongoing efforts to reinforce the right side of the squad. The 22-year-old Spaniard is viewed as a versatile and dynamic option, particularly as the Turin club prepares for the possible departure of Timothy Weah during the summer transfer window.
Arnau on Juventus’ Shortlist for 2025–26
With a contract at Girona valid until June 2027, Arnau Martínez has gained significant attention from clubs across Europe following an impressive season in La Liga. Juventus sees him as a strong candidate to compete with João Mário and Nicolò Savona for a place in the starting lineup.
According to Tuttosport, Martínez has been added to Juventus’ list of transfer targets. The club’s leadership is reportedly drawn to his youth, tactical intelligence, and positional flexibility, which aligns with the long-term vision under manager Thiago Motta.
Alternative Options Still Under Consideration
While Martínez remains a top choice, Juventus is also keeping tabs on other right-back profiles. One of the alternatives being evaluated is Nahuel Molina of Atlético Madrid, who may become available this summer. The club is taking a cautious approach, carefully analyzing performance data and contract details before making any formal move.
So far, no official bid has been submitted for Martínez. However, the presence of Premier League interest could force Juventus to act quickly if they want to secure the player’s signature. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value at around €10 million.
Girona Yet to Open Door to Negotiations
Girona, who surprised many with their recent form in Spain’s top flight, has not indicated a willingness to sell the young defender. However, insiders believe a concrete offer from a top-tier club like Juventus could potentially shift the stance of the Catalan club’s board.
A decision from Juventus is expected in the coming weeks as they finalize targets for the upcoming season. Arnau Martínez remains a leading candidate in what could be a pivotal acquisition for the right flank.
