Anthony Martial<\/a> is the latest high-profile player to join Liga MX<\/a> side CF Monterrey<\/a>. The Frenchman completed his medical on Thursday night in Greece before joining Monterrey, with Mexican outlet TUDN<\/a> reporting that the Liga MX side will pay $4.5 million (\u20ac3.8m) to sign the forward from AEK Athens<\/a>. Both teams announced the transfer late on Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Martial joined the Greek Super League 1 side last summer after his contract with Manchester United<\/a> expired. The Frenchman then managed nine goals and two assists in 24 games across all competitions. But AEK looked to offload Martial this summer due to his high salary and didn\u2019t register the former French international for the UEFA Conference League squad.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Those high salary demands also torpedoed a previous transfer to Liga MX. According to a report<\/a>, Pumas also wanted to sign Martial this summer but couldn\u2019t agree personal terms with the forward. One of the richest teams in Concacaf and playing in one of the continent\u2019s most lavish facilities, Monterrey had no issues meeting Martial\u2019s financial demands.<\/p>\n \nSet to join Sergio Ramos \u2013 What Martial can expect at Monterrey<\/p>\n New arrival Martial (\u20ac7m) will have the largest market value among all CF Monterrey players. The most valuable players in Rayados\u2019 squad are former LaLiga stars Sergio Canales<\/a> and Lucas Ocampos<\/a>, with a market value of \u20ac6m each. The most prominent member of the squad, however, is former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos<\/a>. Ramos joined Rayados on a free transfer last February after his previous contract with Sevilla expired in the summer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Martial would become the fifth player in the squad who has previously played for Sevilla. Ramos, as mentioned, is one; Ocampos also played for the LaLiga club, and so did \u00d3liver Torres. Another player with a past at Sevilla is Mexican winger Jes\u00fas Corona<\/a>. Canales, in the meantime, played for Sevilla\u2019s city rivals Real Betis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"5th former Sevilla player\u00a0 \u00a9TM\/IMAGO Anthony Martial is the latest high-profile player to join Liga MX side CF…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":420222,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[143763,143019,143764,94,143761,143762,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-420221","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-aek-athens","9":"tag-anthony-martial","10":"tag-cf-monterrey","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-liga-mx-apertura","13":"tag-liga-mx-clausura","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115195136329285449","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=420221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420221\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/420222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=420221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=420221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=420221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
