Report : Espanyol Expecting Transfer Bids From Both Manchester Clubs for Defender Aaron Martin

Espanyol are preparing to receive offers for Manchester City and Manchester United target Aaron Martin in January, reports Sport.

Both Manchester clubs are keen on Aaron Martin , who has impressed for Espanyol since the start of last season.

According to Sport, scouts from several teams, including United, monitored the 20-year-old during Espanyol’s 0-0 draw at home to Levante on Friday night.

Espanyol expect to receive offers for the Spaniard in January, but they are holding out for the full value of his €30m buyout clause as they are looking to reinvest in their squad.

City, according to Sport, made an unsuccessful €20m bid for Aaron toward the end of the summer transfer window. They have ramped up their interest in him again after Benjamin Mendy recently suffered a long-term injury, although they are reportedly keen on Valencia’s Jose Gaya too.

Aaron’s buyout clause will increase to €40m at the end of June, and he is under contract until 2022.

Espanyol are already monitoring potential replacements and expected to spend around €3m or €4m on a new left-back if he leaves.
