Martial is now looking for his next challenge and has been linked with a string of clubs around Europe.
The Frenchman’s advisor Philippe Lamboley has revealed that his client won’t rush into a decision – while also insisting that he is fully fit despite not playing since December.
Speaking to Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas, Lamboley said: “Anthony is on vacation.
“We are studying the different projects and we will take time.
“Anthony has made sure to be fit and ready for his new club. He has been training normally for two months.
“He is 28-years-old. I hear reports that he would be too financially greedy with the clubs. This is not true.
“Anthony wants an ambitious project to achieve high club goals and get back into the France team.
“He will choose his club according to the sporting and family project.
