Man Utd chiefs consider mammoth Martial pay-off as Sevilla permanent deal opens up

Manchester United chiefs could propose a £12m payoff to Anthony Martial in an attempt to seal his exit from the club this summer, according to reports.

Martial has two years left on his £240,000-a-week contract and the club are hopeful that he will accept around half of its remaining value in order to terminate the deal.

That’s according to the Sun, who claim Martial is keen to find a new club, while United are looking to cut down on wages ahead of a summer rebuild.

The Frenchman has been on loan at Sevilla since January, but has struggled to find his feet having suffered badly with injuries. He is yet to score in the league for the Spanish outfit, with his only goal coming in the Europa League against Dinamo Zagreb.

Despite his travails, Sevilla haven’t closed the door on a permanent move for Martial in the summer, according to sporting director Monchi.

“His transfer was cheaper than you think, but it’s still a big bet, just six or seven million,” he told Radio Sevilla.

“Unfortunately, it is difficult to analyse Martial’s performance when he was injured and now he is injured again.

“I’m not closing the door on his continuity although there’s a lot to see and discuss with the player at the end of the season.”
