Flamengo continues to look for a new name in the market after the serious injury suffered by center forward Pedro. So, the ball of the moment is Anthony Martial, who is without a club after leaving Manchester United (ING). The French athlete made demands of more than R$2 million per month to settle with Mais Querido.
According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, in addition to asking for a million dollar figure for his salary, Martial's representative required at least a three-year contract. In this way, the French striker would arrive to occupy the biggest salary in the current red and black squad.
Finally, Anthony Martial's name was offered to Flamengo since the beginning of the year. Representatives of the player, still linked to Manchester United, presented the project in February to Mais Querido. Therefore, after Pedro's injury, the agents put the offer on the table again.
Anthony Martial has not played in an official match since December 2023. During this period, the French striker suffered injuries and was left out of some of coach Erik ten Hag's call-ups at Manchester United. Finally, he only scored two goals in the season.
Pedro's injury
Flamengo received some unpleasant news at the beginning of the week. This is because Pedro suffered an injury during training with the Brazilian team. After examinations, it was found that the red-and-black center forward tore the ligaments in his left knee. Therefore, number 9 will no longer play in 2024 and will miss the beginning of 2025.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
