Manchester United sets two conditions for Lisandro Martínez's contract renewal

Manchester United have set two conditions for offering a new contract to Argentina's Lisandro Martínez, whose contract with the team expires at the end of the current season.

Lisandro Martínez joined Manchester United from Ajax in July 2022 for £57 million, and has played 112 matches for the team, contributing to their success in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

The 28-year-old defender has struggled with injuries over the past two seasons, but he has returned to fitness and started the last two matches under Michael Carrick.

Football Insider has reported that Manchester United will offer Lisandro Martínez a new long-term contract if he maintains his fitness and has a standout season, with the possibility of activating the option to extend his current contract for an additional year.

If he continues to maintain his fitness and delivers strong performances, Lisandro Martínez will receive improved financial terms and a longer contract, while his displays with Argentina may attract interest from other clubs during the winter transfer window.

Reports suggest Lisandro Martínez's future at Old Trafford is under consideration, with The Telegraph indicating Manchester United may sign up to four new defenders in the summer of 2027, including a couple of centre-backs and full-backs.
