Juventus director Pavel Nedved spotted in London hotel with Manchester United star Anthony Martial’s agent
Bianconeri are in town for Champions League clash with Tottenham, but meeting has raised suspicions of possible transfer
JUVENTUS director Pavel Nedved was spotted in a London hotel with Anthony Martial’s agent, according to reports in Italy.
The Bianconeri are in town for their Champions League last-16 second leg clash against Tottenham at Wembley.
And report Nedved was seen with Nelio Lucas, a representative of Doyen Sports, whose client list includes Martial.
Last summer, there were question marks over the Frenchman’s future as Jose Mourinho publicly pursued Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic.
However, Martial, 22, has shown his quality in glimpses this season but has been in-and-out of the side in recent weeks as the United boss continues to reshuffle his frontline.
Should Juventus be interested in signing the former Monaco ace, it is highly unlikely they would be able to afford him without selling yet another of their major stars.
Martial’s has improved his goal scoring rate this campaign, while also netting winners against Tottenham and Burnley.
However, he has struggled for consistency and was left out of the squad entirely at Crystal Palace.
The arrival of Alexis Sanchez in January has increased competition for places at Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard are among the other stars vying for a spot behind Romelu Lukaku.
