Atlético Madrid have rekindled their interest in signing Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez, according to reports emerging on October 30, 2026. The Spanish club's renewed pursuit comes amid updates regarding the Argentine centre-back's contract situation at Old Trafford.

Martinez featured for United in a UEFA Champions League league phase match against Atlético at the Estadio Metropolitano on October 13, 2026. The 2026/27 season encounter saw United's defender controlling the ball during the fixture, which may have provided Atlético scouts a close look at the player.

No official bid has been reported, but the development suggests Atlético are monitoring Martinez's future as United evaluate his contractual terms.
