Arsenal and Man United track 23-year-old rival midfielder ahead of potential move

Both Premier League giants see him as a versatile option to add defensive stability and transitional play, while Brighton aim to extend his contract and have an option to retain him. AC Milan also circles the player, making a summer 2027 move the likely window for any formal bids.

Man United face Liverpool transfer battle for Premier League ace with €65m valuation

Man United could extend Lisandro Martinez’s contract but not for the reason fans might think
Manchester United plan to activate a one‑year extension in Lisandro Martínez’s contract, not to cement his future but to protect the £56 million investment. After a public outburst against senior staff following a 2‑0 Champions League loss to Atlético Madrid and ongoing fitness concerns, United risk losing the 28‑year‑old defender on a free. Extending the deal gives United leverage to command a fee, with clubs like Atlético Madrid reportedly watching. The move signals an exit strategy rather than a long‑term role for Martínez at Old Trafford.
