Juventus are interested in signing Anthony Martial

Juventus are interested in signing Anthony Martial in January according to a report from Italy.

The Frenchman is into his seventh season with United but he is still struggling to justify the initial £36million, rising to £58million, the club paid to sign him from Monaco in 2015.

Martial faces stern competition for a place in the side following the arrivals of Jadon Sancho from Dortmund and Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus over the summer.

There are suggestions that Manchester United could cash in on the 25-year-old in January or next summer if they receive a suitable offer for him.

The former Monaco player has often been linked with a move to Italy over the years with Juventus interested in getting their hands on him.

Now, according to Italian outlet Calciomercato.it, the Serie A giants are considering making a move for him in the January transfer window.

Martial, according to the source, is a player Juventus like and the club are considering bringing in a forward in January.

Manchester United are said to want around €45m to €50m from Martial’s sale but Juventus are in no mood to pay such figures for a forward who has not been performing.

The Italian giants are said to be considering making an 18-month loan offer with an option to buy for a fee of €30m in 2023.

Juventus would also want United to pay part of the Frenchman’s wages during his loan stint.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester United would be willing to consider such an offer for Martial in the winter transfer window
