Anthony Martial finds a new club at last

We keep having fresh updates on free agents, with Adrien Rabiot confirmed earlier this week as a new player for Olympique Marseille after finally making a decision on a new club after leaving Juventus, while now there’s also news on Anthony Martial as he’s joined AEK Athens.

Martial had been a free agent since leaving Manchester United earlier in the summer, and he’s now completed his move to Greece on a three-year deal. Martial had been negotiating with Brazilian club Flamengo but his salary was too expensive for them, and so now he’s ready for this new experience in Greek football.

It was a long saga after he left United, with opportunities as well with Como and some clubs in Turkey, but now it’s all done for him to join AEK Athens for this new chapter.
