Míchel's Girona FC has become the big European revelation of the season, competing directly with all the big teams, but Arnau Martínez is still to come
After a surprising first season in the elite of Spanish football, Arnau Martínez has experienced a major downturn under Míchel's command this season. The Girona FC full-back, who was linked with several of the world's top clubs last season, has not performed at the level expected. And the expectations for him were really high.
This may be the only case in the Girona FC squad. And the rest of the players played at a very high level. But Míchel has not yet found a place for Arnau Martínez, who was surpassed by another player. That's why his market value has stagnated this season despite his enormous potential.
Míchel cannot find a place for Arnau Martínez at Girona FC
Girona FC's season is running at such a high level that players of Arnau Martínez's caliber have no place in the team. On this occasion, The right lane is occupied by Yan Couto, another one of the season's big reveals. So much so that he is aiming for Manchester City next season.
Therefore, Arnau Martínez has become a constant after coming on as a substitute. But not only that, there are games where he runs out of minutes. Something unimaginable last season when he was an important footballer and played for big teams. But only eleven play football and even though it hurts, Míchel has made a decision.
Arnau Martínez's market value is stagnating
Due to the high level he showed at a young age in the last LaLiga season, Arnau Martínez's market value grew to 15 million euros. Teams like Atlético de Madrid came knocking on his door and were willing to pay €20 million for his signing. But the Catalan club decided not to let him go.
The decision was logical because everything indicated that the market value would continue to rise. But it wasn't like that, because Arnau Martínez's market value is stagnating. Be that as it may, everything indicates that he will have another chance next season. And with Yan Couto's departure certain, the right lane will once again bear his name.
