Málaga explores Martial and Zaha options
Mundo Deportivo reports Málaga has been approached about signing Anthony Martial and Wilfred Zaha as veteran reinforcements.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s breakthrough start to the 2026-27 season, with four goals and two assists in the first four LaLiga matches, is having an impact beyond A Coruña. As Mundo Deportivo explains, the Deportivo’s strong summer business and results are prompting other clubs to look at similar ways of strengthening their squads.
The Deportivo model
Within that framework, Málaga is mentioned as one of the teams trying to “copy” the approach: bringing in experienced players who can raise performance quickly.
According to Mundo Deportivo and multiple sources, in recent hours Wilfred Zaha and Anthony Martial have been offered to the Málaga side.
The two names
- Anthony Martial (30): the article recalls earlier rumours that he wanted to join Málaga after his spell in Mexico with Monterrey.
- Wilfred Zaha (33): his name has reportedly emerged late in the window of talks; Mundo Deportivo notes that he finished his contract with Galatasaray and that he played the last two seasons for Charlotte in the MLS.
At this stage, the reports point to offers being made rather than a deal being closed.
