Anthony Martial is set to join Mexican club Monterrey after agreeing to a deal, pending a successful medical examination.The reported transfer fee is around £3.3 million, with potential performance-based add-ons.
Martial is expected to sign a three-year contract with Monterrey. He will become one of the highest-paid players in Liga MX, reflecting his pedigree and potential impact. Martial’s tactical versatility will allow him to play as a central striker, left wing, or number ten, providing flexibility for Monterrey’s manager, Fernando Ortiz.
He will join forces with Sergio Ramos, a legendary Spanish defender, and other high-profile players like Sergio Canales and Lucas Ocampos.
Martial’s arrival is expected to boost Monterrey’s attacking threat, increase fan engagement, and enhance the club’s reputation.
Martial’s move to Monterrey marks a new chapter in his career after struggling with consistency and injuries during his time at Manchester United. He has played for clubs like Manchester United, Sevilla, and AEK Athens, and has earned 30 caps for France, scoring twice. Interestingly this move to North America is coming up exactly 10 years after the Frenchman announced himself to the football world with a famous goal on his debut for Manchester united against Liverpool in the 2015/16 Premier league campaign.
On September 12, 2015, 11 days after he moved to Old Trafford, Martial made his United debut off the bench to score the final goal in a 3–1 victory, leaving supporters convinced the player they had recently made the most expensive teenager in history was destined for greatness but then things didn’t turn out well for him at the club with Martial racking up 90 goals in 317 appearances.
