Former Manchester United forward Anthony Martial received a roaring welcome from AEK Athens fans as he arrived in the Greek capital. The 28-year-old Frenchman, now a free agent, has signed a three-year contract with AEK Athens, marking a new chapter in his career after a tough stint at Old Trafford.
AEK Athens announced the signing with excitement, posting “the wizard is coming” on social media. Thousands of fans gathered at Athens International Airport to greet Martial, showing their enthusiasm for the high-profile addition. Martial had been linked with clubs like Flamengo, but the Greek Super League side secured his signature.
Martial, who has not played since December 2023, struggled with form and fitness in recent years at Manchester United. However, he now aims to reignite his career with AEK, where he will join former Premier League players like Erik Lamela and Nordin Amrabat. Martial will reportedly earn £2.5 million per season, in what is one of the most lucrative deals in the club’s history.
