Juventus targeting Manchester United's Anthony Martial

Posted Thursday, April 12, 2018 by ESPN

After reports that Marcus Rashford is growing frustrated at Manchester United comes news that his fellow forward Anthony Martial could be on the move amid claims he has rejected a new contract.

The Independent reports that Juventus "are monitoring Martial's situation and willing to fight Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid for his signature if he becomes available."

Although the France international would prefer to stay at Old Trafford, the paper says boss Jose Mourinho is looking to shake up his attack again and "may see him as surplus to requirements."

Mourinho had mulled the possibility of a swap deal for Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic before the start of the season, only to eventually decide against it.

The report says Juventus "are keen to do a deal, having been informed that Martial would be likely to cost around £60 million."

PSG and Atletico Madrid are also in contention while Tottenham "have a long-term interest, but it is understood United would be averse to selling to a Premier League rival."

Meanwhile, the Mail reports that Valencia have asked about the possibility of signing on-loan United midfielder Andreas Pereira on a permanent basis.
