The bigger picture

That may not be that long ClarinThe largest newspaper in Argentina claims that Martinez has “all ready” to exchange the West Midlands for the northwest of England. You consider a deal as “close”.

DID YOU KNOW?

It is also said that Martinez has a release clause of € 25 million (USD 22 million/$ 29 million) in his contract. At this fee, the enigmatic 32-year-old would become a bargain expansion for United. However, they are ready to pay more than this number to achieve an agreement that fits all parties.

Tell me more

Since the Red Devils are reluctant to separate from a fee in advance, as is often the case with release clauses, they are ready to sweeten the business for the villa by increasing the conditions and spreading payment over a number of installments. This approach also enables you to ward off competing interest from Turkey and the Saudi Pro league.
