Given their remarkable season so far, it is widely expected that many Girona players will be the subject of significant transfer speculation during the summer. Aleix Garcia, Artem Dovbyk and Miguel Gutierrez could all leave Montilivi, and another who could end up doing so is Ivan Martin.
Arriving at Girona from Villarreal on a permanent basis last summer, Martin has been one of the best performers in Michel Sanchez's side this season. Alongside Garcia and Manchester City loanee Yangel Herrera, the trio have formed one of the best midfield partnerships in La Liga, although there is a very strong chance it will break up next season.
According to AS Diary, Athletic Club is interested in signing Martin, who was born in Bilbao. Los Leones have very good reports on the 25-year-old, and they intend to run the rule over him when they face Girona in San Mames on Monday night, in what should be a fantastic game.
Finishing in the Champions League places this season will certainly help Athletic Club in his search for Martin, and it is likely that Gerona they will demand a significant amount for a player whose contract does not expire until 2026. They may even end up doing that at the expense of the Catalan side.
