OL Mercato: Martial close to leaving Man United
13th in Ligue 1, theOlympique Lyonnais knows a rare sporting crisis which pushes the leaders to think of the winter transfer window to be reinforced. A real weak point in Les Gones since the start of Memphis depay this summer, the offensive sector is the priority axis of the Lyon council for the transfer market. And precisely, the Rhone management recently looked into the case ofAntoine Martial, closer and closer to a departure this winter from Manchester United.
” Anthony wants to leave the club in January. He just needs to play. He doesn’t want to stay in january and i will talk to the club soon “, recently announced the player’s agent, Philippe Lamboley on Air sports. The French striker, whose Man United contract runs until 2024 is experiencing a delicate start to the season. Little spared by injuries, the former Monegasque will have played only 7 matches in the Premier League for a small goal scored. At 26, Anthony Martial has strong desires to look elsewhere and is in the sights of several teams including OL, which according to RMC Sport, would dream of a return of their jewel to the fold. Seeing his strikers open abroad, Man United set this Friday the price to pay to enlist Martial this winter.
According to David McDonnell of Mirror, the Red Devils could be ready to unleash their gem for as much as 35 millioneuros. A colossal sum for Lyon, which, due to the Covid crisis, is economically reduced. Only, the Gones do not seem to have said their last word.
The loan, Aulas’ only option
The signing of a goalscorer for 2022 seems essential in Lyon. If the track leading to the Iranian serial goalscorer Sardar azmoun is still relevant, the Gones do not hesitate to multiply the options so as not to find themselves without offensive signatures at the end of the transfer window, which was the case this summer. To enlist Martial, the Lyon leaders could then proceed to a six month loan.
McDonnell reveals that this high mid-season price set by the Red Devils promotes the idea of a loan among the suitors. An option that would not displease Manchester who does not wish, for his part, not to separate from the French.
