Atalanta are reportedly considering former Manchester United striker Anthony Martial as a potential replacement for the injured Gianluca Scamacca. The Italian club is in the market for a new forward after Scamacca suffered a serious knee injury during a friendly match against Parma on Sunday.
Sky Sport report how Scamacca, who has been a key player for Atalanta, is set to undergo surgery and is expected to be sidelined for an extended period. This unfortunate development has prompted the club to explore various options to bolster their attacking lineup.
Martial, who recently left Manchester United as a free agent, is among the names on Atalanta’s list of potential signings. The French striker is currently without a club and is taking time to consider his options amid interest from several teams across Europe and beyond.
While Atalanta has expressed interest, Martial also has other suitors. French club Lille is reportedly keen on bringing him back to Ligue 1, while there are also options available in Major League Soccer, Brazil, and the United Arab Emirates.
However, it’s worth noting that Martial has already turned down approaches from Marseille and Besiktas, indicating that he is carefully weighing his next career move.
