Anthony Martial has signed for Greek side AEK Athens. The forward has joined on a free transfer following his Manchester United exit this summer.
His contract at Old Trafford expired, ending his nine year association with the club.
The 28-year-old is set to arrive in Greece tonight.
Martial is in line to earn £2.5million per season with AEK and the deal would have been announced on Monday night if not for a delay, as per SPORT24.
That will put him among the highest earners in the club’s history.
Ex-Tottenham star Erik Lamela, who joined the club over the summer, is reported to be the top earner on €2.5m (£2.1m) per season.
But Martial is expected to surpass that figure to make him the club’s best paid player.
He will also play with ex-Watford stars Roberto Pereyra and Nordin Amrabat and former Brentford goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha.
Once the world’s most expensive teenager when he signed for the Red Devils from Monaco for £36m in 2015, Martial’s form dropped off after his 17 goals in 2019/20.
He netted just twice in 19 appearances in his final season with Man United.
He’s suffered a number of injury woes, too, but will now be hoping to kick start his career.
