Emiliano Martinez was heavily linked with a move away from Aston Villa during the summer transfer window.
Emiliano Martinez was heavily linked with Manchester United in the summer transfer window, but the move did not go through. According to a report by Football Insider, Aston Villa are now planning to accept an offer for him in January. It will be interesting to see if the World Cup winner can find a suitable destination for himself.
The 33-year-old has been a key player for Aston Villa, having accumulated over 200 appearances for the West Midlands outfit. There is no doubt that he is one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for most teams. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Emiliano Martinez has won every possible trophy with his country, and he will want to win major titles at the club level now. He will look to join a club in the Champions League. It remains to be seen whether any club is willing to provide him with an exit route in January.
The possibility to move to Manchester United seems unlikely right now despite the recent links. Even though the Red Devils need another quality goalkeeper to compete with Senne Lammens, it is fair to assume that they might decide to move for a younger player with more potential.
Manchester United signed Senne Lammens in the summer, and they need an experienced alternative to him. Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir are expected to be sold in the coming months. Both players have been quite poor, and Manchester United are unlikely to keep them at the club long run.
It will be interesting to see if Martínez can convince the Old Trafford outfit to sign him. Joining them would be an excellent opportunity for him. Meanwhile, Aston Villa will need to find a quality replacement for him as well.
The World Cup winner has been one of the first names on the team sheet for a number of seasons, and they will need to fill the void left by him. Apart from Martinez’s quality as a goalkeeper, he is also one of the leaders in the dressing room.
