Anthony Martial is being eyed by three clubs after finally leaving Manchester United.
Martial spent nine years at Old Trafford but badly disappointed for the most part. He fell totally out of Erik ten Hag's plans last season, with the Frenchman making just 13 appearances in the Premier League.
United decided early in the campaign that they would not be renewing Martial's contract once it expired. The former French international is now a free agent heading into this summer's transfer window.
And it appears that he will have plenty of suitors over the next few months. The 28-year-old will be desperate to relaunch his career after a disappointing final few years with the Red Devils.
According to Sky Sports, a return to his homeland appears to be the most likely destination. It is claimed that Ligue 1 rivals Lyon and Marseille are both interested in bringing in Martial this summer.
A move to Lyon would see Martial return to the club where he started his career, having joined their academy at the age of 14. The other frontrunner is Besiktas, with the Turkish Super Lig side said to be contemplating a move.
So far, those three are the ones to be publicly named, though clubs in the Saudi Pro League, the MLS and Mexicos are all monitoring Martial. It is stated that their hopes have been dented by the feeling that Martial would prefer to stay in Europe.

Martial announced his exit from Old Trafford earlier this week. He posted an emotional farewell message on Instagram, alongside a video of highlights from his time with United.
"After nine incredible years at the club, the time has come for me to turn a new page in my career. Since I arrived in 2015, I have had the immense honour of wearing this shirt and playing in front of you, the best supporters in the world!" Martial wrote.
"You have been an unwavering support, through the good times and the difficult. Your passion and loyalty have been a constant source of motivation for me. I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you've done for me.
"I would also like to express my gratitude to all my team-mates, technical staff and all the members of the club I have met during my 9 years here. I am proud to have been able to share these experiences with you. Manchester United will always be in my heart.
"This club has left its mark on my career and offered me an incredible opportunity to play in front of you. I'm leaving to take on new challenges, I'll always be a Red Devil and I'll continue to follow the club's results with passion."
