Juventus ‘meet with Anthony Martial’s representatives’ as Manchester United hold out for £58m transfer fee

Juventus have reportedly met with Anthony Martial’s representatives as they bid to force through a move for the Manchester United attacker.

The Bianconeri’s vice president and former player Pavel Nedved was spotted with Nelio Lucas of Doyen Sports when Juventus played Spurs in London last week, report Premium Sport.

Martial is a client of Doyen and reports suggest it was the Frenchman who was up for discussion.

But United are reluctant to sell the flier and are set to hold out for a fee of around £58million before they even contemplate letting him go.

The 22-year-old is under contract with United until the summer of 2019 with an option for a further year.

Martial has started 16 times in the Premier League so far this season with a further 10 appearances from the bench, scoring nine goals.

He has added a further two goals in cup competitions and has netted on 36 occasions since arriving in England in 2015.
