Real Madrid Targeting Manchester United’s Star Defender Lisandro Martinez

 

 

Real Madrid is reportedly exploring options to bolster their defense following a series of injuries to key players. The Spanish giants are dealing with a depleted backline, with players like David Alaba, Eder Militao, and Dani Carvajal sidelined for the long term. Additionally, the summer departure of Nacho Fernandez has left the team short on central defensive options.

 

While they have been linked to Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhaes, the Gunners have no intention of selling the Brazilian. As a result, Real Madrid has now turned their attention to Manchester United’s standout centre-back, Lisandro Martinez.

 

Martinez, who joined Manchester United from Ajax, has been a transformative presence in their defense. Despite initial skepticism about his height, the Argentinian has silenced critics with consistent performances, becoming a crucial part of United’s setup under former manager Erik ten Hag. His composure, passing ability, and defensive skills make him a vital asset for the Red Devils.

 

Manchester United has made it clear that Martinez is an integral part of their future plans and is not for sale. With uncertainty surrounding other defenders like Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, and Victor Lindelof, the club considers Martinez indispensable.

 

While Real Madrid is known for their ability to attract top players, they are unlikely to succeed in prying Martinez away from Old Trafford. Unless their focus shifts elsewhere, they risk wasting time pursuing a player who is deemed “unsellable” by Manchester United.
