According to Clarin, cited by Sport Witness, the Argentine has received an offer from the Saudi Pro League, and with time passing, a move there is increasingly likely.

This development comes as the Red Devils’s attempt to secure the 32-year-old on loan was quickly rejected.
Earlier this summer, Martinez was reportedly not swayed by the financial lure of the Saudi Pro League. However, if more appealing offers don’t materialise, a move to the Middle East could become a real possibility.
The report also notes that the Argentine national team prefers he avoids transferring to a ‘lower league’ ahead of next year’s World Cup, though that may be beyond their control.
