FC Barcelona is on the hunt for a winger, and after the interest shown by Ferran Torres, today we learned that Mateu Alemany, Barça CEO, would have asked about Martial, former Manchester United champion.
The Frenchman is not happy with his participation in the team and would look for a way out. This signing could resemble that of Memphis Depay, a player who was also at Manchester United. Martial is a player of a great quality, that only the extreme competition in the team with players like Sancho, Rashford and Greenwood, have made him lose prominence. It seems clear that in a theoretical signing for Barça both would win, as the Barça team need offensive talent, and Martial a place where they can feel important again.
In the end, everything will depend on the figures, since Martial has a contract with his team until 2024. Manchester United signed him for 50 million, and he would not be willing to give it away. That is why Barça will only undertake his signing if he gets a good transfer price for the Frenchman.
With the departure of Solskjaer, and the arrival of the new coach Rangnick, we will see what role Martial plays in the plans of the German coach. If the Frenchman regains his position in the team, something that should not be complicated in view of the poor level of Rashford and Sancho, he may end up staying.
Barça must consider more options, because you never know what could happen. Even so, without a doubt, Martial is a great option for the Barça team, taking into account that he can also play false 9 as he has already shown with the Red Devils. We will see if the French finally ends up playing in Barcelona, or if he remains in England, what is clear is that Barça needs level reinforcements, but it can no longer aspire to the best players in the market due to its economic situation and has to focus on players going through a bad time of play.
