Lisandro Martínez is going to leave Ajax. The Argentine central defender follows Erik ten Hag to Manchester United. The team from Amsterdam will receive a transfer fee of 57.37 million euros and that can rise to 67.37 million euros with bonuses.
Only the medical examination and a personal agreement separate Martínez from the English superpower. Arsenal was also in the market for the Argentinian, but Manchester United is drawing the longest straw. Erik ten Hag has been a trainer with us since this summer The Red Devils. United also took over Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord earlier.
Martínez came over from Defensa y Justicia in 2019 for seven million euros. In total he played 120 official games for the team from Amsterdam. After Frenkie de Jong (86 million) and Matthijs de Ligt (85.5 million), Martínez is the third most expensive outgoing transfer at Ajax ever.
