Due to his high salary and very little offensive contribution, one of the main candidates to leave the Águilas del America was striker Henry Martin, who did not count for coach Fernando ‘Tano’ Ortiz who personally asked the board for the arrival of Uruguayan Jonathan ‘Cabecita Rodríguez.
But the situation is different. The ‘Búfalo’ had a very good tour of the United States in matches against Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid; In addition to that, he led his team to resume the path of victory in the MX League, being the absolute starter and sending Cabecita to the bench, the one who was supposed to make him forget about Coapa.
Several European teams have it in their folder of interests, mainly after his concrete and complete performance in the North American friendlies. His good positioning, scoring instinct and team play are the characteristics so that you can finally fulfill your dream.
And it is already in 2021, Martin was very clear that playing in Europe was his dream and he had it between his eyebrows: “It is the dream of every player”, he declared to TUDN upon returning to Mexico after playing the Tokyo Olympics with El Tri.
In the offices of Coapa they already know of the interest of two teams, the sports president Santiago Baños also knows of this. The first of them is the Sporting de Lisboa from Portugal, who several tournaments ago they came to show interest in Henry Martin without reaching anything concrete.
The offer from Lisbon is $8 million for the 80% of the player, the rest will stay with America, which could get good money if another transfer occurs.
The other team is from Spain, where there is a poster and respect for the Mexican soccer player. Betis, led by the Chilean Mauricio Pellegrini, does not look badly on taking over Martin and strengthen the forward in order to reach the top of La Liga 2022-2023.
There are a good record between Águilas and the Sevillian club. In the past they already had conversations to achieve Diego Lainez’s pass. However, there has been no definite offer and they have only been observations.
For now, Martin is totally focused and committed to this América del Tano Ortiz, even though he knows very well that they wanted to get rid of him before of the Opening.
