Anthony Martial ‘agrees shock transfer and biggest contract in club’s history’ as details of deal are ‘revealed’ – after he left Man United this summer

Anthony Martial, the French forward who recently became a free agent following his departure from Manchester United, is reportedly on the verge of finalizing a highly lucrative deal with AEK Athens, a leading Greek football team. This development follows Martial’s nine-year stint at Old Trafford, which included both successes and challenges.

Since leaving Manchester United, Martial has attracted interest from various clubs, including the Brazilian side Flamengo. However, recent reports indicate he is poised to make a significant move within Europe, closer to his home continent.

According to Greek media outlet SPORT24, Martial is in the final stages of negotiating a three-year contract with AEK Athens. The report states that he is in the process of finalizing the last documents with the club. Furthermore, Spanish sports news source Relevo corroborates that Martial has given a verbal agreement for the transfer.

If the deal is completed as anticipated, Martial is expected to earn £2.5 million per season with AEK Athens. The total contract value, including potential bonuses, is estimated at £7.5 million, making it the largest contract in AEK Athens’ history, surpassing any previous agreements.

The announcement of the deal was expected to be made on Monday night. However, according to SPORT24, a delay has pushed back the formal announcement. The contract not only underscores Martial’s value and attractiveness in the European football market but also signifies a significant investment by AEK Athens, demonstrating their ambitions and commitment to strengthening their team.
