Once again, reports are circulating about a possible transfer for Anthony Martial to Inter Milan, with Gazzetta dello Sport suggesting that the Italian club is contemplating making a fresh move for the French striker.
Inter’s interest in Martial is tempered by concerns about his recent poor form and injury record.
While Martial is on Inter’s radar, he is not their top priority in the attacking department. The club’s main focus is on securing the services of Albert Gudmundsson from Genoa, a player who has also attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur recently.
Gudmundsson’s contract with Genoa runs until 2027, indicating that any potential deal for him would likely involve a significant transfer fee.
If Inter fails to secure a deal for Gudmundsson, they may consider turning their attention to Martial.
One advantage of pursuing Martial is that he would be available on a free transfer this summer, eliminating the need for Inter to pay a transfer fee to Manchester United.
This would enable Inter to negotiate directly with Martial’s representatives without the complication of dealing with his current club.
A move to Serie A could offer Martial the opportunity for a fresh start to rejuvenate his career after a series of disappointing seasons in the Premier League.
The 28-year-old has struggled to replicate his earlier successes, managing just two goals in 19 appearances across all competitions this season. In contrast, Gudmundsson has been in excellent form, scoring 12 goals in 29 Serie A matches.
Since joining Manchester United from Monaco in 2015, Martial has scored 90 goals in 317 appearances. However, his goal-scoring output has declined significantly since his prolific 2019/20 campaign,
