He is yet to find a new club despite receiving plenty of interest.

Flamengo identified Martial as a target last week after star man Pedro suffered a serious knee injury.

But despite initiating talks, the Brazilian side rejected the opportunity to sign him.

According to news outlet , Martial's demands were "unworkable" for Flamengo.

The Frenchman wanted a three-year contract in Rio de Janeiro.

And his preferred salary was deemed far too high by club officials.

It is now believed there is no possibility of negotiations progressing.

Martial has been linked with several clubs since leaving Man Utd including Atalanta and Lille.

"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.

"The finances are important for any professional player but they are not his priority."
