At the end of the 2023/24 season, the French striker was released by MU after a period of declining performance and frequent injuries.

Martial joined AEK Athens in the Greek league on a free transfer but only played 24 matches for the team in all competitions (scoring 9 goals).

However, the 29-year-old striker has lost his place in the AEK Athens squad this season, having been left out of the squad for six consecutive matches.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Martial and Monterrey have agreed on personal terms. The French striker will officially join the Liga MX club if he passes his medical examination.

Martial is understood to have been a transfer target for Pumas UNAM all summer but he refused to lower his wage demands during negotiations.

Monterrey then stepped in and quickly reached an agreement with Martial. Journalist Cesar Luis Merlo shared on his personal Youtube channel:

"AEK Athens are willing to loan Martial to Pumas for free, as long as they pay his wages. However, the French striker is on a huge salary.

They negotiated with him for three or four days but in the end Martial did not accept the offer from Pumas."

Martial's move to Monterrey comes just seven months after centre-back Sergio Ramos signed for the Mexican side.

Martial will have the opportunity to play alongside the 39-year-old World Cup champion in a new environment. Monterrey is currently flying high in Liga MX with 6 wins after 7 rounds.
