Anthony Martial has reportedly received an offer from Brazil as the former Manchester United star continues to consider options.
Martial’s contract with Manchester United expired in the summer of 2024, ending his eight-year stint at Old Trafford. Despite initial expectations that the French forward would attract high-profile European clubs, a significant move has yet to materialize.
This delay has prompted Martial to broaden his search, looking beyond Europe for his next club, and he now finds himself with an intriguing offer from South America.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Martial has drawn attention from Flamengo, a top club in Brazil’s Serie A.
The Rio de Janeiro-based team has reportedly made contact with Martial’s representatives as they look to replace their injured striker, Pedro, who has picked up an ACL injury.
In addition to Flamengo’s interest, Martial has also attracted the attention of Greek club AEK Athens.
On Wednesday, it was revealed that AEK are looking to sign the Frenchman in what could be a record-breaking deal for the club.
Although the Greek side are keen to bring Martial into their ranks, they now face stiff competition from Flamengo, who are determined to make their move.

However, Martial’s early promise began to fade in the latter years of his United career.
Recurring injuries and inconsistent performances hampered his ability to make a sustained impact.
Over his last four seasons at Old Trafford, the Frenchman managed only 12 Premier League goals in 64 appearances, a stark contrast to the bright start he once enjoyed.
While a move to Brazil might not have been Martial’s initial plan, the offer from Flamengo presents an exciting and unexpected opportunity to reignite his sinking career.
