Latest news from Málaga CF: the club is in advanced negotiations with Anthony Martial, the 30-year-old French forward who is currently a free agent after leaving Monterrey. An agreement is getting closer. The player recently turned down two offers from Ligue 1 and an offer from Al-Ittihad de Trípoli worth €15 million in salary and bonuses, as confirmed by Santi Aouna.

The most recent information represents progress compared to initial contacts last week. Initially, there was an economic gap between the parties, but Martial was willing to lower his salary demands to return to LaLiga, leading to more advanced negotiations now.

Málaga CF Advances with Anthony Martial

The club can sign the French player even after the market closed on September 1st as he is currently a free agent. Martial ended his time at Monterrey this summer and can negotiate his next contract directly without a transfer fee.

Before proceeding with the Andalusian club, the forward dismissed other possibilities. Two Ligue 1 clubs made offers to sign him, but neither guaranteed him the playing role he desired, leading to their rejection.

A more lucrative proposal came from Libya. Al-Ittihad de Trípoli offered a net €10 million for two seasons plus a €5 million signing bonus. Martial turned down this option despite the €15 million potential earnings.

The Frenchman enters this negotiation after a brief stint in Mexico. He played 20 official matches for Monterrey, contributing 1 goal and 3 assists, before becoming a free agent. His last official game dates back to March.

Málaga has Room for Free Agents

This potential arrival is also influenced by the injury to Julen Lobete, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture and will be out for almost the entire season. With the squad's 25 professional spots filled, Lobete's medical leave will be needed to make a new signing possible.

The club has a squad cost limit of around €33 million, the second lowest in LaLiga. The judicial administrator, José María Muñoz, stated this week that there is financial room for a signing, but the sports management must fit the salary within existing constraints.

Anthony Martial would also provide versatility in the attack. He can play as a striker or from a wide position and is familiar with the Spanish league after featuring in 12 matches with Sevilla during his loan spell in the 2021/22 season.

Most of his career was at Manchester United. Between 2015 and 2024, he played 317 games for the English club, scoring 90 goals, before moving on to AEK Athens and then Monterrey.

The next step involves finalizing the economic terms and completing the necessary procedures for the player registration. Talks are advanced, and after rejecting offers from France and the €15 million from Al-Ittihad, Martial's focus now turns to Málaga CF.
