Juventus are interested in acquiring the services of Manchester United striker Anthony Martial ahead of next season.
According to CalcioMercatoWeb, Juventus are keen on having Anthony Martial in their ranks. Despite finding themselves in a difficult situation in the ongoing season, the Old Lady have already started to plan for the upcoming transfer window.
15 points were docked from Juventus’ points tally in the league due to financial irregularities. The penalty has made it difficult for them to qualify for the Champions League.
While they have managed to put together a great run in Serie A, the Old Lady are 6 points behind fourth-placed Inter Milan. And, if they fail to make the cut for the UCL, they might end up losing a few of their star players.
They could see a potential exit of star striker Dušan Vlahović if they fail to achieve UCL football for next season. While they are busy dealing with the ongoing legal situation alongside a few key contract extensions, the club are ready with a plan for the summer. They have identified Martial as a great option to have in their ranks and could push for him ahead of next season.
The 27-year-old hasn’t had the best time at Manchester United. While he was signed because of his huge potential, the France international has failed to live up to high expectations. And, of late injuries have kept him out of the team for long periods of time.
The 27-year-old has been on the pitch for just over 700 minutes in his 16 appearances in the ongoing season. While he has still been impactful at times, inconsistency and injuries at regular intervals have been a key concern for his manager. As a result, Erik ten Hag no longer counts on him.
The Dutch manager is already looking for a new number and offloading Martial won’t be a problem for him. The Old Lady are interested in his services and could push for him in the summer. While they do have financial problems of their own signing Martial won’t be that big a problem as he is expected to terminate his contract with the club before joining his next club.
