Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the Manchester United forward.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Manchester United will demand as much as £80 million for Tottenham target Anthony Martial.
The British newspaper claims that Jose Mourinho is now willing to sell Martial, after the Frenchman left United’s pre-season tour of America in order to be with his pregnant girlfriend.
The 22-year-old will be in high demand this summer, that much is clear, with both Tottenham and Chelsea thought to have already registered their interest in the winger, according to the Telegraph.
Whilst Martial would undoubtedly be an excellent signing for Spurs, United’s reported £80 million valuation of the former Monaco man surely puts him out of the north London outfit’s reach.
Much will depend on Toby Alderweireld’s future, however, and if United are intent on signing the Belgian, it could represent Tottenham with an opportunity to bring Martial to White Hart Lane.
With the transfer window closing on August 9th this summer, both clubs will have to get busy, if Martial is to leave Old Trafford this summer, and with such huge figures being discussed, a quick resolution will be far easier said than done.
