One club that will be competing in the UEFA Champions League this year is supposedly interested in Anthony Martial.
This summer, the France international ended his nine-year tenure at Manchester United by leaving the club.
During that tenure, he scored 90 goals for Manchester United, but he was plagued by ailments.
Martial is reportedly coveted by an Italian club as he searches for a new home.
In the wake of Gianluca Scamacca’s recent ACL injury, Atalanta are interested in signing the 28-year-old playmaker.
Sky Sports reports that the player, who was formerly with Monaco, might be amenable to a transfer to Serie A.Even though Marseille is in desperate need of a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Martial has previously rejected their advances.
The fact that Martial’s Atalanta team won the Europa League last year meant that they were automatically eligible for the UEFA Champions League could sway his decision.Martial had another injury-plagued season at Manchester United last year, appearing in just 19 games.
Erik ten Hag will likely miss the forward, especially after Rasmus Hojlund was elected as the club’s new number nine.
As they aim to improve upon last season’s eighth-place result, the Red Devils have also acquired Joshua Zirkzee.
“Dear Manchester United fans,” Martial posted on Instagram after leaving.
I am writing this farewell to you today with heavy heart.
My time at the club has been absolutely fantastic, but now is the moment for me to go on to other things.
It has been an incredible privilege to wear this jersey and play for you, the greatest fans on the planet, since my arrival in 2015.
You have been there for me through thick and thin, encouraging me no matter what.
“Your passion and loyalty have been a constant source of motivation for me.”For all that you’ve done for me, I want to express my deepest gratitude.
“Your songs, your encouragement and your love for the club are memories that will remain engraved in my heart forever.”
