DBasia.news – Manchester United are on the last list to sign Ajax Amsterdam defender Lisandro Martinez.
The defense sector gets special attention from Erik ten Hag. Understandably, last season this line became one of Manchester United’s weak points. The inconsistent performances of Harry Maguire and the lack of consistency by Raphael Varane made David de Gea dizzy.
Therefore, Man United plunged in the transfer market this summer to hunt for the doorstop. Erik ten Hag offered the name Lisandro Martinez to the management.
The Argentine player was Ten Hag’s protégé when he was at Ajax. Even though he doesn’t have a towering body, Martinez is still good at stemming the opponent’s attacks. He often takes the ball by tackling without a foul.
The good news, Martinez wants to continue his career in England. He is willing to move to Manchester United or Arsenal who are also chasing him.
Fabrizio Romano reports that after reaching an agreement on the transfer price, now Ajax and Man United will meet again to discuss final details. Reportedly, Martinez is valued at 50 million euros plus bonuses. Romano said the agreement between the two camps was only a matter of time.
If Man United was smooth enough to bring in Lisandro Martinez, it was different with Frenkie de Jong. Although Barcelona have given the green light, Man United have struggled to convince the Dutch international.
Frenkie de Jong confirmed to Barcelona that he had no desire to leave. However, on the other hand, he also did not want his salary to be cut.
