Exclusive: European giants interested in summer deal for Anthony Martial

Manchester United are set to permit the departure of Anthony Martial ahead of the upcoming transfer deadline. Despite efforts to convince Erik Ten Hag of his value in the regular starting lineup, Martial, aged 27, has found himself relegated to a peripheral role since the Dutchman took over from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Adding to the uncertainty, Manchester United’s acquisition of Rasmus Hojlund, a promising talent from Denmark, from Atalanta for a fee exceeding £70 million, has further cast doubt on Martial’s future at Old Trafford.

Anthony Martial, the French striker, currently residing far down the pecking order at his club, will be granted the opportunity to seek new horizons if a suitable offer arises. Although interest in the 27-year-old has been limited thus far, insiders from CaughtOffside report that Inter Milan, the prominent Italian team, are now contemplating a potential approach.

While Inter Milan’s primary target for the summer has been Arsenal’s Folarin Balogun, negotiations have hit a standstill due to Arsenal’s unwavering valuation. This situation has prompted Inter to compile a list of alternative options, with Martial being one of them.

Just like the financial obstacles that Inter is grappling with in their pursuit of Balogun, Martial’s prospective transfer presents its own challenges. The Frenchman commands a salary of approximately £13 million annually, a figure that proves difficult for the Italian club to match. Nevertheless, the winners of the 2009-10 Champions League have expressed their interest in staying updated on Martial’s circumstances.
