Former Manchester United striker, Anthony Martial may be headed to Italy for the coming season.
The striker is currently without a club after leaving Old Trafford this summer at the end of his contract. The France international has been taking some time to consider his options with considerable interest from Europe.
Martial has already rejected offers from Besiktas and Marseille, with Lille now another interested party in the mix.
Now, a top Italian club is looking to fight for the French star.
Atalanta look to Antony Martial
Atalanta are reportedly considering Martial as a possible replacement for Gianluca Scamacca.
Scamacca suffered a serious knee injury in a recent friendly against Parma. As a result, the Serie A side are now looking for a new striker to step into Scamacca’s shoes.
Sky Sport reported that Scamacca is set to undergo surgery, sidelining him for a considerable time, meaning a replacement is essential.
Now, Foot Italia have reported that the Italian club are looking to Martial to potentially step up and become the club’s main striker.
With Martial still being a free agent, Atalanta would be able to sign the star quickly, offering a quick solution to their problem.
However, with Martial carefully considering each offer that comes in for him, they’ll have to do some serious convincing to lure him in.
Martial is yet to play in Serie A, which could be a selling point, with the striker having already experienced the Premier League, Ligue 1 and LaLiga.
However, with Lille knocking, the star may be looking for a return to his home country and settle back into Ligue 1.
