Former Manchester United star, Anthony Martial has completed a shock move to a European club.
The French striker has been a free agent since leaving Manchester United in the summer at the end of his contract, after a nine-year stint at Old Trafford.
Greek giants AEK Athens have announced the signing of the Frenchman as they wrote on X that the ‘wizard is coming’.
They also revealed that Martial will be arriving at the Athens International Airport at 8.40pm in Greece tonight, with fans expected to greet him upon his arrival.
SPORT24 previously reported that he was exchanging final documents with the club over a three-year deal.
Martial is said to be in line to earn £2.5million per season with AEK and the deal would have been announced on Monday night if not for a delay, as per SPORT24.
That deal, amounting to £7.5m in total including bonuses, would be the most lucrative in AEK’s history.
The post from the club reads: “The Magician is coming!!! ⚫️ Meeting at the airport!!! ✈️ Arrival: Anthony Martial Time: 20:40 Location: El. Venizelos airport Meeting point: Exit 7”
Despite the transfer window in Greece closing on September 11, 2024, Martial was able to join the club as a free agent, allowing him to make the move outside the transfer window.
Martial is the latest addition to AEK Athens, with the club making a total of 11 signings this summer, including players like Aboubakary Koita, Frantzdy Pierrot, Moses Odubajo, and Alexander Callens.
The former Manchester United forward has signed a three-year contract with AEK Athens, which will keep him at the club until the summer of 2027.
During his time at Manchester United, Martial made 317 appearances, scoring 90 goals and providing 47 assists in all competitions. He also had a loan spell at Sevilla in January 2022, making 12 appearances, scoring 1 goal, and providing 1 assist.
