Manchester United are looking to offload defensive trio Eric Bailly, Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones with Lisandro Martinez closing in on his move to Old Trafford this summer.
Ajax are in line to lose their defensive mainstay to Manchester United who have earmarked the Argentine centre-back as a priority target with the new boss Eric ten Hag keen to reinforce his roster with fresh faces.
According to a report from The Daily Mirror, it is claimed that Martinez’s imminent arrival would set the stage for United to cash in on the likes of Eric Bailly, Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones who would be deemed surplus to requirements in the United camp.
The Ivorian central defender Eric Bailly has been linked with a move to Serie A giants Napoli with the club on hunt for a viable replacement to fill the void that would be left by the Chelsea-bound Kalidou Koulibaly with his transfer to Stamford Bridge awaiting confirmation.
Eric ten Hag, following his capture of Martinez from Ajax, will shift his focus on getting the deal to sign Frenkie de Jong past the finish line with the talks to land the Holland international midfielder hitting roadblocks time and again.
