Atlanta striker Schkamaka was unfortunately injured in a warm-up game and a torn ACL has put the team in a difficult position. In order to fill the void, the team is in dire need of bringing in a goal scorer. According to Football Italia, Manchester United's Anthony Martial, who is set to become a free agent this summer, has emerged as a potential target for Atlanta.
Currently a free agent, Anthony Madill is attracting interest from teams including Kormu, Lille, Marseille, Bidas, and a host of Middle Eastern and American professional teams. However, Atlanta seems to have put him on the list of emergency reinforcements. The reason for this is that the team will have a crucial match against Real Madrid in the early hours of August 15, and signing the free agent might solve the problem quickly.
However, Anthony Martial's fitness has been an issue. In the last season, he contributed only 2 goals in 19 matches for Manchester United. As a result, Atalanta are also considering bringing in Genoa striker Lydigu on a long-term basis. The 25-year-old shot-stopper, who scored seven goals and had two assists in Serie A last season and represented Italy in this year's European tournament, is valued at a whopping €15 million (HK$128 million).
