Manchester United have completed the signing of Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez from Ajax in a deal worth up to 67m euros (£57m).
United manager Erik ten Hag was keen to be reunited with the 24-year-old, who he signed for Ajax in 2019.
He joins the club on a five-year contract which keeps him at Old Trafford until 2027, with the option of a further year.
“It’s an honour to join this great football club,” Martinez said.
“I’ve worked so hard to get to this moment and, now that I’m here, I’m going to push myself even further.”
Martinez made 120 appearances for Ajax after moving from Argentinian side Defensa y Justicia for £6.3m in 2019, and also played for Newell’s Old Boys.
He has won seven caps for Argentina since making his senior debut in March 2019, and played once in the country’s successful Copa America campaign in 2021.
“I’ve been lucky enough to be part of successful teams in my career and that’s what I want to continue at Manchester United,” he said.
“There will be a lot of work to get to that moment, but I firmly believe that, under this manager and coaches, and together with my new team-mates, we can do it.”
