Manchester United are set to offer a new and improved contract to Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez in an attempt to fend off interest from European giants Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

Since his arrival from Ajax in the summer of 2022, Martinez has quickly established himself as a key player at Old Trafford. His impressive performances at the heart of the United defence have not gone unnoticed, with both PSG and Real Madrid reportedly monitoring his situation.

A Rising Star

Martinez's ability to read the game, his no-nonsense defending, and his impressive distribution have made him a fan favourite. His value has soared since his move to England, with Transfermarkt currently valuing him at €50 million.

United's Stance

With the player's contract set to expire in 2027, United are keen to tie him down to a long-term deal. The club are aware of the interest from other clubs and are determined to keep hold of one of their most promising young talents.

A source close to the club has revealed, "Lisandro has been a revelation since he joined us. His attitude, his quality, and his leadership skills have been invaluable. We want to make sure he stays at the club for many years to come."

Real Madrid's Interest

Real Madrid have been long-time admirers of Martinez and see him as a potential long-term replacement for Sergio Ramos. The Spanish giants are known for their ability to attract the world's best players, and Martinez would undoubtedly be a marquee signing.

PSG's Pursuit

Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on the Argentine defender, as they look to bolster their defensive options. The French champions have the financial resources to meet United's demands, but it remains to be seen whether they will make a formal offer.

A Battle for Signatures

With both PSG and Real Madrid circling, Manchester United face a tough task in keeping hold of Martinez. However, the club are confident that they can persuade the player to commit his long-term future to Old Trafford.
