Manchester United are expected to have officials at Alvalade to watch Sporting against Legia Warsaw for the Group F of the Champions League tonight.
We saw that coming when the winger had a very good display at the Santiago Bernabeu a couple of weeks ago.
Doing well against Real Madrid and being part of one of Portugal’s bigger clubs, it was obvious that claimed interest from European giants would show up at any time.
So Manchester United and Real Madrid are the clubs said to be following the player now, but there is still no news regarding talks for a transfer.
Gelson Martins is one of the worst paid players at Sporting, as he currently earns €120k gross per season. Claims from last week said the winger was about to make five times more, as the Lions want to offer a deal of €700k per year to reward his good form.
Despite his relatively low wages, the 21-year-old currently as a €60m release clause in a contract which runs until 2021.
