Iván Martín, one of the key players of the team, a stronghold in the center of the field, renewed this Tuesday with Girona until 2028. The Basque, who has already been at Montilivi for four seasons, still had a contract until 2026, but this extension of two years represents a clear commitment to the Girona project.
“This renewal reflects the club’s confidence in the talent and dedication of a player who has shown great progress and involvement since his arrival,” reported the red and white entity, highlighting the 25-year-old Bilbao-born “his ability with the ball, his excellent control in small spaces and a great capacity for distribution”, in addition to “his mastery in defense-attack transitions and his speed in unmarking”.
Martín arrived at Girona with the club in the Second Division and in the last two campaigns, especially the historic 2023-24 season, his participation was crucial for Míchel’s team to make a leap in quality in the game and also in the First Division table. finally classified for the Champions League. His 36 games in the League last year, 33 as a starter, speak for themselves.
Now, his absence due to a muscle injury, added to many others, has been noticed in a less dominant Girona midfield, an essential quality in the Catalan team’s game idea. Martín suffered a tear in the adductor in his left leg during the first half of the match against Slovan Bratislava, on October 22, and still does not have a return date.
