Martial at OM?

In search of offensive reinforcement this winter, OM have recently exchanged with Anthony Martial’s entourage.

Six months before the end of his contract, Anthony Martial is champing at the bit at Manchester United. This season, the person concerned has certainly participated in 19 matches in all competitions, but for only seven starts. And two goals scored. Statistics unworthy of his rank as a potential French international – a 28-year-old striker who since his arrival in the north of England in 2015 has never really found his place there.

Loaned for a time to Sevilla FC in the winter of 2022, the former Monegasque was not much more convincing there – so rumor has it that he is willingly sent away from Old Trafford in this winter transfer window. Towards Saudi Arabia or Turkey for example. But not only. According to the media The Athletic, Anthony Martial would also have been in contact with OM via its representatives. A hypothetical collaboration that has already ended.

Inaccessible

The Red Devils, who will not exercise the option they have to extend their deal with the Ile-de-France native by one year, may well open the door to an immediate departure of this eternal fallen hope, but serious suitors are not legion ; and President Longoria himself would have cut short the discussions. Even if United agreed to release their player, the Marseille club would not be able to match the boy’s English emoluments, which exceed a million euros each month.
