Source excerpt · The Peoples Person ↗

Lisandro Martínez has been tipped to leave Manchester United, with a move to La Liga reportedly on the cards. Barcelona are reportedly keen on signing him, while Atlético Madrid are also closely monitoring the situation.

If the World Cup winner departs, United will need to find a replacement, given the significant gap he would leave behind. His experience, composure on the ball, and deep playmaking ability would all need to be replaced.

According to TeamTalk, the Red Devils may already have Martínez’s replacement in mind, as they eye a 2027 move for Calvin Bassey. “[Bassey’s] form has not gone unnoticed.
