Sevilla make new offer for Anthony Martial
According to reliable journalist Ekrem Konur, Sevilla are preparing the terms on a fresh approach for Manchester United attacker Anthony Martial. The Frenchman has reiterated his desire to move on from Old Trafford and could be making the move to Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium this month.
