According to French media footmercato, former Manchester United striker Martial was abandoned by Athens AEK, and the unwillingness to significantly reduce salaries has led to a hindrance to leaving the team.
It is reported that Martial's annual salary after tax at AEK at Athens is 2.5 million euros, but he only had a few enlightenment after joining the team, his performance was disappointing most of the time and repeated injuries. The red color against Olympiacos also made the team lose patience, and Athens was willing to let the players leave the team very early.
Martial has been excluded from the team's roster for more than a month. After joining the team, he made a total of 24 appearances and contributed 9 goals and 2 assists, but Athens AEK has not yet included him on the European roster. Obviously, he is no longer planned to be activated this season.
What's worse is that the Greek club is trying their best to part ways with Martial, with two years left in the player contract. Although most league transfer windows have been closed, Athens AEK is still looking for a way out for the “unpopular player” and has recommended him to six clubs.
But the transfer is much more complicated than expected, and the Mexican Cougar is completely unwilling to pay Martial his salary at AEK at Athens, and Martial himself is unwilling to make substantial concessions on his salary. The answer needs to be revealed as soon as possible, as the Mexico transfer window will be closed on September 13.
