Atletico Madrid agree personal terms with Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez
The Madrid club has reached a preliminary agreement with the Argentine defender, who is also a target for Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid have reached a preliminary agreement on personal terms with 28-year-old Manchester United and Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez. The player is reportedly eager to leave the English club and is open to continuing his career in La Liga.
The Argentine's position at Old Trafford has recently weakened following his public criticism of the club's leadership, fueling speculation about a potential departure.
While Barcelona were previously considered the frontrunners for his signature, having made the defender a top transfer target, recent developments suggest a shift. Martinez recently held a meeting in Madrid with representatives from Atletico, where advanced discussions took place.
The Madrid club has yet to initiate official contact with Manchester United regarding a transfer. Martinez's current contract with the Red Devils runs until the end of the season, though the club holds an option to extend the deal for an additional 12 months.
