Monaco ready to offer Atletico €35m for permanent Gelson Martins transfer

Monaco are ready to offer Atletico Madrid €35 million (£30m/$40m) to make Gelson Martins' stay in Ligue 1 permanent, Goal understands.

The Portugal international signed for Atletico on a free transfer in 2018 after terminating his contract with Sporting following the well-publicised fan fracas at the Liga NOS side's training ground.

Martins was then farmed out on loan to the Principality side in January and has flourished enough to convince the powers that be to make an offer for 100 per cent of the player's rights, with talks currently underway.
