Real Sociedad are eyeing a free transfer for Manchester United’s Anthony Martial in the summer of 2024, as reported by Fichajes.

The 27-year-old is in the final year of his Old Trafford contract, and could make the move to La Liga if Real Sociedad secures a Champions League spot this season.

Injuries have plagued Martial’s time at Manchester United, limiting his impact despite a promising preseason in 2022/23. Last season, the Frenchman made only 11 starts in 38 Premier League matches, diminishing his reliability. United boss Erik ten Hag considered selling him during the recent transfer window but faced challenges finding a replacement.

West Ham, Fenerbahce, and Inter Milan were among the clubs interested in Martial during the summer. If Real Sociedad secures his services on a Bosman transfer, it could be a smart move with low risk, although Martial’s previous La Liga stint with Sevilla was unremarkable.

Martial has made more than 300 appearances for Manchester United with 88 goals and 53 assists. Real Sociedad’s pursuit of Martial aligns with their cost-effective approach, focusing on deals like the loan signing of Kieran Tierney, despite their return to the Champions League in the 2022/23 season.
