Martial: Where is the uncrowned king for you?
Anthony Martial, after leaving Manchester United, is still looking for a new destination.
Flamengo reject Martial's offer
Flamengo, the team that was once said to really want Martial's services, has officially given up on this deal.
The reason given was that the French player's demands were too high compared to the club's financial capacity. Despite the need for a striker after Pedro's injury, Flamengo were unable to meet Martial's salary and contract demands.
Martial looking for ambitious project
Martial's agent said the striker is looking for an ambitious sporting project to help him achieve his personal goals and return to the France team. Money is not the top priority, but a long-term contract and a suitable salary are necessary to secure his future.
Difficulties in finding a new club
Martial’s lack of a new club shows the difficulties he is facing. His age, past injuries and high financial demands are making clubs wary. In addition, the fact that the transfer market in many countries has closed further limits Martial’s opportunities.
The opportunity in Europe has closed
Martial has been linked with Atalanta and Lille, but the summer transfer window in Europe has officially closed in 2024. The opportunity to play in one of Europe's top leagues is no longer available to him.
AEK Athens makes attractive offer
Before the European transfer window closed, Martial received a lucrative offer from AEK Athens. The Greek club wanted the former Manchester United player and were willing to pay the highest salary in the squad. However, it is unclear whether Martial would accept the offer.
Martial’s future remains a big unknown. Will he be able to find a club that suits his needs or will he have to accept a lower salary and a shorter contract? The answer to this question will only be revealed in the coming time.
