Atlético Madrid pursue Lisandro Martínez amid Manchester United contract uncertainty

Atlético Madrid has renewed its interest in signing Lisandro Martínez from Manchester United, who is projected to leave in June 2027. Martínez's contract includes a mutual option for extension, which both parties reportedly do not wish to execute following his criticism of club management after a loss to Atlético earlier this month. With his contract ending and the ability to negotiate with other clubs starting in January, Atlético aims to strengthen its defense by pursuing the Argentine center-back. Barcelona is also reported to be interested in Martínez, complicating Atlético's efforts.
