The future of Argentina national team goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez at Aston Villa remains uncertain. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to the Daily Mail, the 32-year-old goalkeeper plans to change clubs during the summer transfer window. The Birmingham club's management is ready to consider offers for his sale, but the key issue is finding a buyer who is willing to pay a fair price.
Among the potential options is Atletico Madrid, but the Spanish club's interest in Martinez depends on the future of Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak. If Oblak continues to stay with the team, the "Atleticos" will not expedite negotiations with Martinez. Saudi Arabian clubs are also monitoring the situation, but Martinez is not in a hurry to move to the Middle East.
His main goal is to maintain his starting position in the Argentina national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup. To achieve this, it is necessary to play in strong European leagues.
Realistic options include Chelsea and Manchester United, both of which are in need of a high-level goalkeeper. However, the realization of this transfer also depends on the price issue, as a high price could complicate the deal.
No final decisions have been made regarding Martinez's future, and the situation is being closely monitored.
