Former Manchester United forward Anthony Martial has reached an agreement to join AEK Athens.
Martial has been without a club since his contract with United expired at the end of June.
The 28-year-old had attracted interest from Flamengo, although a potential move to the Brazilian club collapsed earlier this month.
According to Greek newspaper Fos, Martial has now agreed a three-year contract with AEK worth €3.5m (£2.9m) per season.
The report claims that Martial is expected to arrive in Athens on Wednesday night to complete his move.
Speaking in June, Martial’s agent, Philippe Lamboley, said that the former United forward is aiming to get back into France’s national side
‘Anthony has made sure to be fit and ready for his new club. He has been training normally for two months,’ Lamboley said.
‘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.’
AEK Athens currently sit top of Greece’s Super League with three wins and a draw this season but are not in Europe this term after they were knocked out in the Europa Conference League qualifying round last month.
