Manchester United set to pay Ajax huge bonuses for Lisandro Martinez?

Ajax are reportedly set to receive huge bonus payments from Manchester United for Lisandro Martinez.

The defender recently signed for United following a battle between the Red Devils and Arsenal for his signature.

United paid Ajax a fee in the region of £55m, but the cost of the transfer could still rise throughout the Argentine's career at Old Trafford.

According to the Daily Mail, the Premier League side are obligated to pay Ajax £56,000 for every appearance that he makes up to a maximum of 30 matches per season.

The bonus payments could cost United £1.6m a season for a player that is contracted until 2027 with an option for an additional year.

Man United reportedly agreed to the bonus structure in a bid to beat Arsenal to Martinez's signature, with the 24-year-old set to earn £120,000 a week at Old Trafford.

Martinez has joined Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen as Erik ten Hag's summer recruits.
