A former AS Monaco targeted by Barça
With the package for the next three months of Sergio Aguero, FC Barcelona must strengthen with a new striker this winter. The Argentine center-forward suffers from cardiac arrhythmia and will miss these months of competition. With Luuk De Jong not fitting into Xavi Hernandez’s plans, the Dutchman will be pushed to the exit this winter. For its part, the management of Barça continues to multiply the avenues in order to sign a new offensive reinforcement. If the name of Ferran Torres has been mentioned in recent days, another player playing at Manchester United this time has just emerged. The Catalan newspaper Ara indeed assures that the former Monegasque Antoine Martial interests the Blaugranas.
Martial on the move to Manchester United?
Still under contract until 2024, the French striker with 30 caps (2 goals) is not spared by tough competition in attack. This season, he has only played 9 games (357 minutes), including 4 as a starter. The former AS Monaco also has only one but on the current campaign. In view of its scarcity at Old Trafford, FC Barcelona would like to revive according to information from the Catalan source.
The newspaper indicates that Barça staff, including Mateu Alemany, the football director, and Ferran Reverter, the club’s CEO, are observing the trend with the arrival of Ralf rangnick on the bench for the Reds Devils before going on the offensive. It remains to be seen in what form the Blaugranas wish to recruit Anthony Martial. His market value is estimated at 35 million euros according to Transfermarkt. A fairly large amount for the Catalan club in the grip of financial difficulties.
