Manchester United have confirmed they have reached an agreement with Ajax to sign Lisandro Martinez in a deal worth up to £55.3 million.
United have agreed to pay Ajax an initial £46.8m for the Argentina centre-half with a further £8.5m in add ons plus solidarity payments on top of that.
Martinez will sign a five-year contract worth over £120,000 a week with the option of another 12 months, with the deal expected to be formally completed once a visa has been approved and international clearance granted.
The 24-year-old will become the second most expensive defender in United’s history after captain Harry Maguire, who cost £80m from Leicester in 2019.
