Lisandro Martínez agrees personal terms with Atlético Madrid

Argentine defender Lisandro Martínez of Manchester United has reached a preliminary agreement on personal terms with Atlético Madrid, paving the way for a transfer to the Spanish club, according to a report from "CaughtOffside".

The report indicates that the 28-year-old player wishes to leave, while there has been no official communication between the two clubs so far, despite a meeting in Madrid to discuss the possibility of completing the transfer.

TEAMtalk has confirmed that Martínez does not want to continue with Manchester United and does not wish to activate the clause to extend his contract for an additional year, noting that his current contract expires in 2027.

The Argentine defender has faced sharp criticism for his recent mistakes, particularly during the 2-0 loss to Chelsea. Freddy Ljungberg and Peter Schmeichel have also criticized his performance, with Danny Murphy describing him as a burden on the team.

The upcoming winter transfer window presents Manchester United with an opportunity to gain financial compensation from the player's departure before his contract expires.
