Plans are in danger? Anderlech rejects Manchester City's second transfer offer for Martin


According to reports, the Premier League Manchester City is just one step away from Anderlecht's 21-year-old defender Sergio Gomez Martin in this summer's transfer window. It is reported that the two sides are discussing the final details of the transfer. But things took a sudden turn. Anderlecht has rejected Manchester City's second bid for Martin, and Manchester City are currently negotiating a deal for the two sides.


Martin signed with Dortmund in the Bundesliga in 2018 after leaving the Barcelona youth academy, and was loaned to SD Huesca a year later. During these 3 years, he helped the Barcelona youth team win the UEFA Youth League Championship, UEFA European 17-year-old and 19-year-old championship. Until June last year, Martin signed a four-year contract from Dortmund to Anderlecht.


With Manchester City on the road to introduce 24-year-old defender Mark Cucurella from Brighton in the Premier League, Brighton refused to pay more than 40 million pounds, which led to the breakdown of the negotiations between the two sides, and finally the Premier League proposed a 62 million pounds. Chelsea successfully introduced Cucurella. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is still looking for a defender to fill the left-back vacancy left by the transfer of 25-year-old Aleksandr Zinchenko to Arsenal this summer, and hopes to sign before the transfer window closes A new guard.


After several weeks of observation, Manchester City began to negotiate with Anderlecht on the transfer of Martin. Anderlecht asked to sell Martin for a transfer fee of 5 million euros. It is reported that Manchester City also made more than 1,000 in the offer. The young defender was signed for a fee of 10,000 euros.


However, according to Belgian sports reporter Sacha Tavoleri's report today, the Bundesliga team rejected Manchester City's second offer, which was 13 million euros plus a bonus of 2 million euros, and a newly added one. The terms could provide Anderlecht with a 12% return on future sales. That means Anderlecht is not content with City's current offer and is demanding a fixed price.


However, Martin prefers to leave the Bundesliga for a move to the Premier League and has already agreed a four-year contract with Manchester City. Coach Guardiola originally planned to loan the young defender to La Liga Girona, but finally decided to keep the rising star in the first team in the new season. Now that Guardiola has included Martin in the long-term plan of the lineup, it is expected that Manchester City will continue to negotiate with Anderlecht in the near future, and make a third offer after making adjustments in a short period of time to complete it as soon as possible. Martin's transfer process. If Manchester City and Anderlecht are unable to reach a consensus on the transfer negotiations, then Guardiola is likely to abandon Martin and target Stuttgart's 24-year-old defender Borna Sosa.
