Real Madrid has been offered the opportunity to sign Manchester United forward Anthony Martial through his agent, renowned reporter Duncan Castles claims.
The Frenchman had a disappointing 2020/21 season with the Red Devils, providing only seven goals from 36 appearances in all competitions. It is presently being said that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will part ways with the striker so that he can make way for a new world-class striker.
The club will offload him on loan with the option to buy. Martial’s agents have contacted Los Blancos to see if they are interested in signing the player. Martial had his best season for United in 2019/2020, providing 23 goals from 38 appearances in all rivalries for Manchester United.
Notwithstanding, he failed to discover consistency last term and dropped down the order in the second half of the season. Solksjaer decided to play Cavani and this decision actually helped United to prosper.
Edinson Cavani was favoured ahead of him before he endured a knee injury, which made him unavailable for the rest of the season.
The £40.5 million-priced star has been a quality player, however, his failure to maintain consistency has raised questions over the player from fans and pundits throughout the world. A mid-year move to Madrid would come as an amazement, and it will be interesting to see whether he is on the radar of Carlo Ancelotti.
Ancelotti will need signings of his own as he would look to strengthen Los Blancos for the next season. Real Madrid needs a good backup striker as well if in case Benzema gets injured.
He could hope to restore the Frenchman’s career with the enticing choice of bringing him on loan without the commitment to buy him in next summer.
It will a shocking move if the deal happens.
