Emiliano Martinez has already received three offers to leave Aston Villa after he appeared to say farewell to supporters at Villa Park on Friday night.
The 32-year-old is just about to complete his fifth season at Villa having joined in a £20 million deal from Arsenal in September 2020.
Villa secured a 2-0 victory over Tottenham in their final home game of the season on Friday evening and during the lap of appreciation in front of fans, Martinez was visibly upset as he waved alongside his family.
According to TyC Sports, there is a ‘good chance’ that Martinez will be sold this summer with Villa making it clear that they are open to offers for the Argentina international.
It’s claimed that Martinez has received ‘firm offers from two top European clubs’, while he also has the chance to join the Saudi Pro League, although his preference is to continue playing in the Champions League.

Villa, meanwhile, are looking to rival Arsenal for the signing of Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia.
The 24-year-old has a €25m (£21m) release clause in his deal with Espanyol, but that will rise to €30m (£25.2m) if he called up to Spain’s national team.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are also considering a move for Garcia, while Arsenal’s bid for the goalkeeper was rejected by Espanyol last summer.

When asked about Martinez’s future after Villa’s win against Tottenham, Emery replied: ‘We will see.
‘Of course, it is the last match here [this season] and I don’t know.
‘We will see about the team, the players, but of course, they are responding on the field.’
