Contract talks have been ongoing for some time, but so far the 29-year-old has not put pen to paper.

Now Il Mattino is reporting that representatives from one of the Manchester clubs met with Martens in Naples yesterday.

The player’s entourage has denied those claims, and it’s not clear if the alleged emissaries were from United or City.
