Man United appear to be closing in on more deals after the first signing of Tyrell Malacia of Erik ten Hag’s era earlier this month.
Former Inter and Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen looks set to finally pen Old Trafford terms while a fee for Frenkie de Jong has also been agreed with Barcelona, Lisandro Martinez is also next on the cards.
Romano took to Twitter on Friday morning to provide an update on United and Martinez with his trademark, here we go, saying;
“Lisandro Martínez to Manchester United, here we go! Full agreement in place between Man United and Ajax for package up to €55m. Lisandro will sign until 2027, documents now approved.
Deal done – meeting in Amsterday on Wednesday was the key step. Ten Hag, big factor.”
United will have probably paid a little more for Martinez than they would have liked to, however, Ten Hag is a big admirer of the player from his time at Ajax and had pushed the board to acquire his services.
United are now hopeful that Martinez can complete the formalities of a medical process and be announced as a player before flying to Australia to join the squad on tour.
Ten Hag is believed to use the Argentine who is primarily a centre-back and also as a cover at full-back or as a defensive midfielder, something that could be extremely handy as the season goes on.
However, the new boss is still planning to lure another Ajax player to his team as he prepare to compete for titles and bring back the glory of the club.
The 22-year-old Brazilian winger’s performance under Erik ten Hag last season has caught the attention of Europe’s top clubs with the Red devils keen to sign the player but have so far prioritised other targets.
Erik ten Hag has been keen to sign the Brazilian winger Antony this summer but could face competition from Jurgen Klopp’s liverpool who are also interested in the forward after the exit of Sadio Mane.
It’s understood that the winger is keen on being reunited with his former boss Ten Hag at United.
