Lille OSC Pursues Free Agent Anthony Martial

Lille OSC is reportedly pursuing a deal to sign former Manchester United forward Anthony Martial, who is currently a free agent after departing from Old Trafford. The Ligue 1 side is looking to bolster its squad for the upcoming UEFA Champions League season, having lost several key players this summer. Financial considerations for Lille seem manageable, although they may not match Martial's previous earnings of £10 million per year. Martial, who scored 90 goals in 317 appearances for United, is willing to lower his salary expectations to facilitate the move. The prospect of reuniting with manager Bruno Genesio and competing in Europe may influence his decision. Lille's interest underscores their intent to strengthen their attacking options after a challenging transfer window.
