Anthony Martial's latest proposed move has collapsed due to the forward's contract demands, according to reports.

Martial, 28, is still without a club after leaving Manchester United at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

The France international spent nine years at Old Trafford, scoring 90 goals in 317 games for the Premier League club, before being let go at the end of his contract in June.

While other players who left United in the summer have since found new clubs, Martial still remains a free agent.

The former Lyon and Monaco forward, who was once tipped as a potential Ballon d'Or winner early on in his career, had been linked with a shock move to Greece.

Martial was reportedly offered a huge deal by Greek Super League club AEK Athens, who put together the biggest contract offer in their entire history in a bid to sign him.

However, they ended their interest in Martial earlier this month, with the forward reluctant to move to Greece amid interest in him from other clubs.

Reports last week claimed Martial was on the verge of leaving European football completely, with Flamengo reported to be keen to sign him.

The Brazilian club held talks with Martial following an injury to forward Pedro, who suffered an ACL rupture during a training session while on international duty with Brazil earlier this month.

While the Brazilian transfer window closed on September 2, Martial would still be able to join Flamengo due to his status as a free agent.

The Mirror even claimed Martial had already 'chosen' Flamengo to be his next club and was 'poised' to complete a move to South America.

But that proposed move now looks to have collapsed.

Brazilian outlet Meia Hora (via Sport Witness) report that Flamengo have pulled out of talks due to Martial's demands.

It is claimed the Frenchman was seeking a three-year deal on high wages to move to the Maracana.

"Flamengo believe that both the salary request and the contract length isn't workable for them, and therefore it's believed there's no possibility of negotiations going any further," added the report.

Martial now faces an uncertain future and may have to alter his demands to secure a favourable move this summer.
