Anthony Martial’s Transfer to Monterrey
In a significant transfer within the world of football, Anthony Martial, previously a forward for Manchester United, has officially made his move to Monterrey, one of the dominant clubs in Mexico’s Liga MX. The transfer, confirmed by Monterrey on Friday, sees the 29-year-old French striker signing a contract that extends until 2027, with the potential for an additional year. This milestone makes Martial the inaugural French player to represent Monterrey.
Martial’s Career Journey
Martial’s professional journey began at AS Monaco, from where he transitioned to Manchester United in 2015 for a then-record fee of £36 million ($48.8 million), marking the highest sum paid for a teenager at that time. Initially, he made waves in the Premier League with a remarkable debut goal against Liverpool and was recognized as Europe’s best young talent with the coveted Golden Boy award in the same year.
However, his career at Manchester United was challenged by injuries, leading to inconsistent performances and a total of 90 goals scored in 317 matches.
Recent Developments
After a loan period at Sevilla in 2022, Martial moved permanently to AEK Athens, where he netted nine goals in 24 matches. Now, as he transitions to Monterrey, he joins a team in excellent form, currently leading the Liga MX Apertura table with 18 points after seven matches, indicating a promising new chapter for the talented forward.
