Martial is ready to come to Real Sociedad with ONE condition
According to Fichajes, the French striker agreed to leave Old Trafford to put on a new shirt.
Anthony Martial joined Manchester United in 2015 for 60 million euros. He was expected to become a bright star to help Man Utd regain its position. However, the French striker has encountered many obstacles here.
He slowly faded into obscurity as a result of injuries and a lack of form stability. Martial’s options for leaving Old Trafford are expanding right now.
Only one year of the former AS Monaco player’s contract remains at Old Trafford. Martial wants to find a better stop because he is frequently on the sidelines.
Fichajes sources claim that Martial agreed to join Real Sociedad when they made their hiring announcement in the summer of 2024, but only under the condition that they would continue to play in the Champions League.
Martial once played in La Liga when he moved to play for Sevilla on loan. Although he did not leave a special mark here, the prospect of the 27-year-old star will become a free player this season. Next summer, they see this as a bargain.
Man Utd accept big damage in Eric Bailly deal
The Besiktas homepage confirmed the successful recruitment of midfielder Eric Bailly from Manchester United.
Specifically, the Besiktas side announced, “Welcome to us, Eric Bailly.
“We have reached an agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly.
“We wish Eric Bailly, who we believe will provide important skills to the team, great success with this glorious shirt and the delight of the fans.”
In Turkey, football teams have till September 15 to restock. Therefore, despite the Premier League transfer window having closed last week, Besiktas might still buy Bailly.
Right now, it’s unclear exactly what Bailly’s Besiktas contract entails. It’s unclear whether the Old Trafford club decided to end the deal so that Bailly could depart for free or whether the Red Devils received a price from Besiktas.
James Ducker of the Telegraph reports that Man United did not collect a fee for this transaction. If this is accurate, Man Utd suffered a great loss when it invested £30 million for Bailly.
One of Jose Mourinho’s first acquisitions at Old Trafford in 2016 was Bailly. However, due to his problems with injuries, the defender was unable to fulfill the standards.
He only appeared in 70 Premier League matches over 6 seasons. Bailly did not play a single minute for Man United in 2022. The opportunity for Bailly to play under Erik ten Hag became narrower, after Man Utd successfully recruited Lisandro Martinez.
Despite Harry Maguire’s decline, Bailly is still not given a chance. Instead, Man Utd signed a one-year contract with Jonny Evans.
