Overview
- Goal.com, Crypto Briefing and local outlets report Martial agreed to terminate his Monterrey contract on June 22, making him a free agent.
- Foot Mercato and Goal.com say his entourage has offered his name to several Ligue 1 sporting directors as clubs weigh a possible signing.
- OGC Nice is one of the few teams showing active interest but the club must reduce squad numbers and cut its wage bill before pursuing Martial.
- Clubs have been cooled by Martial’s pay demands and a sharp drop in output, with sources noting he scored one goal in more than 17 appearances for Monterrey in 2025–26.
- Reporting conflicts over his Monterrey deal remain, with Crypto Briefing earlier saying the contract ran until 2027; that discrepancy is unresolved and could affect negotiations.
