Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez has sparked fresh transfer speculation after suggesting that a high-profile signing could already be on the way to Old Trafford.
Speaking after United’s recent match, the Argentine revealed that he had spoken with one of his international teammates and received a positive response regarding a potential move.
According to Martínez, the player told him he plans to complete the switch once the World Cup comes to an end. He added that the player is enthusiastic about the project being built at Manchester United and is eager for the opportunity to become part of it.
While Martínez chose not to reveal the player’s identity, reportedly to avoid any issues surrounding transfer regulations, the comments have only intensified rumours. The unnamed Argentine has been linked with a move worth around £100 million, with reports claiming that personal terms are already close to being finalized. The remaining steps are believed to include completing the necessary paperwork and undergoing a medical after the tournament.
If the deal is successfully completed, it would mark another significant statement of intent from INEOS as they continue reshaping Manchester United’s squad. The club have been searching for a world-class addition capable of strengthening the team and improving its overall quality, while Martínez’s relationship with his fellow Argentina international is believed to have been an important factor behind the negotiations.
Should the transfer go through as expected, Manchester United could secure one of the standout signings of the summer before the transfer market fully gathers momentum.
More information regarding the proposed contract, payment structure, and medical arrangements is expected to emerge once the World Cup has concluded.
