Argentine international defender Lisandro Martinez
is set to become Manchester United’s third signing of the transfer window after
the English giants agreed a deal with Ajax on Sunday.
Ajax confirmed United will pay an initial 57 million
euros ($57 million, £48 million) with a further 10 million euros in
performance-related bonuses.
“Manchester United is delighted to announce the
club has reached agreement with Ajax for the transfer of Argentine
international defender Lisandro Martinez, subject to medical, to player terms
being finalised, and to UK visa requirements,” United said in a statement.
Martinez is set to be reunited with his former boss
Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag has already added midfielder Christian
Eriksen and left-back Tyrell Malacia to a squad that finished a disappointing
sixth in the Premier League last year.
Martinez moved to Ajax from Defensa y Justicia in
his homeland, winning two Eredivisie titles and helping the Dutch champions
reach the last 16 of the Champions League last season.
