When the authoritative journalist Romano once again uttered the iconic "Here wo go", we knew that another deal had been made, and the official announcement was imminent!
That's right, Manchester United striker Anthony Martial has made significant progress in his deal with Sevilla, with the two clubs having cleared the negotiating hurdles and fully negotiated.
Late Monday night local time, in the early morning of Beijing time, the famous journalist Fabrizio Romano updated several tweets, confirming that Martial is about to go on loan to la Liga teams.
Negotiations between United and Sevilla have already begun after Anthony Martial's agent publicly stated his departure in the winter window at the end of last year, and when the transfer window was still a week away, the two sides finally agreed on Anthony Martial's transfer. Sevilla will pay Martial 6 months' salary and send a loan fee, And Martial accepts the deal, and Sevilla has always been his first choice.
Romano further explained the details of the transfer: Martial will fly to Sevilla with agent Philippe Lambore on Tuesday, and the Manchester United and Sevilla deal has been completed. Sevilla paid €6 million (including salaries and loan fees) on loan to Martial for half a year. The contract does not include a buyout option, Here we go.
José Manuel Oliva, a reporter for Spain's Corbé radio, pointed out that Martial decided to take a pay cut in order to complete the transfer, because Sevilla could not pay his salary in full at Manchester United, and Manchester United would not give him a salary during the loan period. It is reported that Manchester United will receive a semi-annual loan fee of 5 million euros.
The 26-year-old Martial has been completely marginalized at Manchester United this season, playing only 11 games for Manchester United (8 Premier League games, 2 Champions League games, 1 League Cup), a total of 367 minutes and scoring one goal.
In United's 1-0 West Ham match last weekend, Anthony Martial came on as a substitute in 82 minutes and contributed to Rashford's winning goal.
Anthony Martial's career should not be like this, and no one can deny that he was a favorite player of many Manchester United fans.
When the 19-year-old made his debut at the Double Reds to play a Dragon Goal for Liverpool defenders, when he won the European Golden Boy Award, when he saved van Gaal's desperate Red Devils again and again, the talent visible to the naked eye was unmistakable. We thought the Red Devils would have no worries about the next 10 years.
However, in the six and a half seasons at Old Trafford, there were not many seasons in which Martial was able to maintain a consistent highlight. That is, 17 goals and 8 assists in 49 games in the debut season, and 9 assists in 48 games with 23 goals in 2019-20, which is not worth the high cost of 60 million signed by Manchester United. Martial played 36 games for United last season, scoring only seven goals and in a long slump.
Magic fans hate iron and steel, from the sought after Red Devil darling to the "horse factory manager", there are many reasons here, but Martial's weak willpower and lazy style of play, including the manager, critics and fans have long pointed out. Whether you can save your career depends on the individual.
