Striker Anthony Martial has revealed that he turned down FC Barcelona and Juventus to sign for Sevilla FC in the winter. The Frenchman told the Spanish newspaper Diario de Sevillethat his agents have been in touch with both the Catalans and the Old Lady representatives, but that Sevilla has always been his first choice.
“It’s true. Juventus tried to sign me,” explained the Manchester United loanee. “I spoke to my agent and told him I’d rather go to Seville. It was the best option for me and my family. FC Barcelona also spoke to my agent.”
Anthony Martial: Salary cut for Sevilla move
Martial also confirmed he was waiving money for his Sevilla move: “I realize that paying my salary is a challenge for the club. So we had to accommodate each other. But I know that this effort is mutually beneficial will be good.” The prospect of regular deployment times was “the most important thing” for him, according to the former winner of the Golden Boy Award.
