Following an excellent 2021/22 season with Ajax where he finished as their player of the season, it has seen interest in Lisandro Martinez shoot up. The 24-year-old versatile defender has been heavily linked with a move to both Arsenal and Manchester United this summer amongst other sides but so far, no move has materialized. However, reports have indicated that Arsenal have stepped out of the running after Ajax rejected two bids from the North Londoners, the highest of which reached €50 million.

However, the move is far from over but the two parties are overly keen on getting a deal done before the window closes as United also have other targets in mind. The Red Devils are looking at a deal for Antony and Frenkie de Jong but their move for the latter has stalled over reports that De Jong has no intention of leaving Barcelona for another club anytime in the near future.
