Lisandro Martinez has been making the headlines in the British media in recent days, with Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur among the clubs linked with the Ajax star.
The Daily Mail have reported that Arsenal have had a bid for Martinez turned down, and that the Gunners have made a second offer of £30 million.
90min have reported that Tottenham and Newcastle United are monitoring the situation of the 24-year-old central defender.
Manchester United have also been linked with Martinez.
And now well-known and well-respected journalist Fabrizio Romano has an update on Martinez.
Romano has reported on Twitter that Arsenal plan to push again for the Argentina international central defender, but Ajax “really hope to keep” the 2021 Copa America winner.
It seems that Ajax are not keen on selling Martinez to Arsenal or Tottenham.
Could Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur sign Lisandro Martinez?
In our view, Arsenal or Tottenham Hotspur could be able to sign Lisandro Martinez from Ajax in the summer transfer window.
Now, of course, Ajax are a big club, but over the years they have sold their best players.
If Arsenal or Tottenham make big offers for Martinez, then the Dutch giants will surely sell him.
Moreover, the Argentine himself could be tempted to move to Arsenal or Tottenham.
After all, Arsenal and Tottenham are global brands who play in the richest and most-watched domestic league in the world.
