wilson88 Lille president denies reports linking him with move for Anthony Martial wilson88

On Sunday, RMC reported that Lille were considering a move for Anthony Martial, with the Frenchman free to leave the club as he is currently a free agent. ( wilson88 )

However, Lille president Olivier Letang has insisted the reports are not true and the club now has enough strikers at its disposal.

“Contact with Martial? No, not really. I’m not someone who has a habit of hoarding players in the squad. We have Jonathan David, Mohamed Bayo and Matias Fernandez-Pardo. There are three options in one position.”

Martial, on the other hand, remains a free agent since leaving Manchester United at the end of the 2023/24 season, with the French forward’s future still unclear.

The main factor may be the 28-year-old striker’s injury history, which has led to many teams not being ready to negotiate, as well as the problematic salary criteria.
