Man Utd's bid for Martial was NOT the highest, claims Monaco chief
It is now claimed that another club made an even
larger bid for the 19-year-old and were willing to
let him stay at Monaco for another season Monaco
vice president Vadim Vasilyev claims another club
outbid Manchester United for Anthony Martial .
The 19-year-old completed his move to Old
Trafford on deadline deal for an initial fee of £36
million, although that figure could rise to £58m
after add-ons.
Martial has made an impressive start to life in
England with four goals in six games and the
Monaco chief admits United’s offer was too good
to turn down.
"There was another club that offered even more
than United. I will not say how much, but the fixed
price, without variables, it was even better,”
Vasilyev told Marca.
“And also they offered us to have him for a further
year in Monaco. But the boy wanted to go to
Manchester, it was his dream.
“And we let him go with the bonus of €30 million.
Had it not been for so much money, he'd have
stayed."
