Part 5/8:
Flamengo is reportedly looking at a salary package for Martial that could amount to around $2 million per month, which is slightly more than what the club proposed to their former star player, Gabigol. Although this amount is hefty, the team believes that a fully recovered Martial could deliver an excellent return on investment, aligning with the club’s long-term strategy.
The Gamble of Investing in Martial
Despite the potential attractive profile of Martial, many observers—including pundits and analysts—are expressing caution regarding this move. The primary concern lies in the player's injury history and the significant risk that comes with committing substantial resources to a player whose fitness and form are uncertain.
