Sevilla president Jose Castro has revealed the LaLiga side will make Anthony Martial’s loan deal permanent.
Martial joined Sevilla on loan during the January transfer window for the remainder of the season. The LaLiga side was keen to make it permanent but now it looks impossible after Castro revealed Martial will return to Old Trafford.
“Anthony Martial will return to Man United,” he said.
“We spent important money on him but it didn’t work. Also, he had injuries and we’re not going to buy him on a permanent deal.”
The Frenchman had fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford with his best season being 2019/20 where he netted 23 goals while providing 12 assists for the Red Devils.
