Overview

• Liga MX club Pumas are negotiating with AEK Athens and Anthony Martial over a potential move, with discussions described as ongoing.
• The striker is understood to earn about £2.5m per season and has two years left on his AEK contract, and reports indicate he is unwilling to take a pay cut.
• AEK are open to a loan or permanent departure for Martial, but no agreement has been reached ahead of Pumas’ registration deadline on Friday.
• Under new coach Marko Nikolic, Martial has played only once this season and has been omitted from recent matchday squads.
• Martial joined AEK on a free transfer in 2024 after nine years at Manchester United and tallied nine goals and two assists in 24 appearances last season.
