Information has emerged about the reasons why Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez's transfer to Manchester United did not materialize. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Earlier, it was reported that the parties had reached an agreement on the transfer, but at the last minute, Manchester United chose 23-year-old Senna Lammens from Antwerp. According to the Mirror, the Red Devils' sports department decided to give up on the services of 33-year-old Martinez.
This decision is related to his age and high annual salary of approximately 12 million euros. The Argentine goalkeeper has been representing Aston Villa since 2020.
This season, he has played one match in the English Premier League, conceding only one goal. The main reasons cited for Martinez's transfer not going through are age and financial factors.
For this reason, Manchester United preferred a younger and lower-salary option.
