While confirming Martial is not close to any move now, Romano hinted at a possible departure if an \u201cimportant proposal\u201d emerges. This stance positions Martial in the \u201csame range\u201d as Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire, whose futures also appear to be subject to the right conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Rotation Role or Transfer?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The dynamics of Erik ten Hag\u2019s squad could be at play here.
