Anthony Martial Set for Medical Ahead of Move to Monterrey
Former Manchester United striker Anthony Martial is set to undergo a medical examination as he prepares to finalize his transfer to Mexican club Monterrey.
At 29 years old, Martial made 317 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 90 goals during his nine-year tenure at Old Trafford.
He departed United after his contract expired in 2024 and subsequently signed with Greek club AEK Athens.
During his time at AEK, Martial netted seven goals in 19 league matches. Despite having two years remaining on his contract, AEK is not obstructing his move to Liga MX, particularly given the size of his salary.
The France international has been absent from AEK's last seven matches, with his last appearance occurring during a 1-0 victory over Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the second qualifying round of the Conference League in July.
Should the transfer proceed, Martial will join forces with the legendary former Spain and Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos, who joined Monterrey in February.
Currently, Monterrey leads Liga MX with 18 points from seven matches.
Martial was once the world's most expensive teenage footballer when Manchester United acquired him from Monaco for £36 million in 2015.
He has represented France 30 times, scoring twice, but has not featured for the national team since 2021.
