Girona sporting director Quique Carcel has sung the praises of fullback Arnau Martinez.

Martinez has been linked with Atletico Madrid.

Carcel told AS: "He is a very young player, who is making steps forward in his career and the truth is that he is jumping obstacles remarkably. This being an important player and being so young it means that there are many clubs that ask and are interested.

"We are open, if an offer arrives that allows us to grow, we'll consider things but we will wait.

"I am not talking about any particular club because it is confidential, but he is a player who causes a sensation, they ask about him and within Spain there are big teams who like him. He is an interesting player and he has value."
