Diego Simeone would be interested in joining the defender of the Argentine national team, while Barcelona is also closely following their contractual situation
The future of Lisandro Martínez at Manchester United is going through a period of uncertainty. A little more than a year after the end of his contract, the Argentine defender began to appear in the plans of important teams in Spanish football. In addition to the interest attributed to Barcelona, there is now that of Atlético Madrid, which would be evaluating a
possible addition.
The defender is liked by the coaching staff led by Diego Simeone. His contractual situation represents an important factor: the link with Manchester United expires in 2027 and, from January of that year, he will be able to negotiate as a free agent with other clubs to join without a transfer fee at the end of
the contract.
Barcelona and Atlético Madrid follow Lisandro Martínez
Barcelona is also analyzing alternatives to reinforce its defense. Hansi Flick is looking for players who can play especially for the left sector and Martínez appears among the names linked to the Catalan club
. Lisandro Martínez and Cristian Romero could also be teammates at Atlético Madrid
For its part, Atlético Madrid is studying the steps it could take to advance for the world champion. A possible arrival would allow the Argentine to share a team with Cristian “Cuti” Romero, a possibility that also generates expectations for the society that both make up the
Argentine national team.
The contractual situation and the conflict at Manchester United
Although both the player and Manchester United have the option of extending the contract, for the time being this possibility is not expected to materialize. Martínez's public criticism of the club's management and the resources available to the coaching staff, after the defeat against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, added uncertainty about its continuity
.
An outing during the next January market seems unlikely due to the sporting needs of the English team. Therefore, the scenario of a transfer in 2027 appears as an alternative to follow, especially if the defender decides not to renew
