Journalist Fabrizio Romano announces that "Manchester United" is very close to acquiring "Ajax" defender Lisandro Martinez. It is reported that the "Red Devils" have already agreed on personal contract details with the player and the team's management has flown to Amsterdam to reach an agreement with the Argentine's team as soon as possible. "Ajax" rejected a €50 million offer from "United" last week. However, Lisandro Martinez has pressured his current team to sell him and it seems that the Dutch giants are willing to negotiate. "ESPN" reports that "Ajax" has come to terms with the loss of Martinez and is actively seeking a replacement for the player.
