Manchester United wants to extend Lisandro Martínez’s contract until mid-2027. That reports Sky Sports. The club of manager Erik ten Hag wants to reward the 25-year-old Argentinian, who came over from Ajax for just under sixty million euros in the summer of 2022, for his good debut season in the shirt of Ajax. the Red Devils.

Manchester United want to reward Lisandro Martínez for his first season with a new contract Sky Sports Thursday evening. “The club has informed Martínez’s management that it wants to offer him new terms, extending his tenure at the club beyond 2027. There have already been talks about what kind of terms those could be, but an offer is likely to be not done until the club takeover process is completed.”

In any case, it seems likely that Martínez, who became world champion with Argentina last winter, can look forward to a salary payment. Incidentally, the defender will no longer play on behalf of the current number four of the Premier League this season: Martínez suffered a broken metatarsal bone in the Europa League match against Sevilla (2-2) in April.

Before then, the 16-time international had been an almost constant fixture at the heart of Man United’s defence. Since last summer, Martínez has played a total of 45 official matches on behalf of the club, of which he was in the starting line-up 38 times. He scored once: in January, in the 3-2 lost top match against Arsenal.
