The Argentina international’s future continues to be the source of much speculation with reports in his homeland this week claiming he was open to joining Manchester United, despite their lack of European football next season.
Villa are yet to receive any offers for Martinez, who sparked rumours of a possible departure when he left the pitch in tears following the final home match of last season.
Neither the goalkeeper or Villa boss Unai Emery have given any assurances over his future and United are thought to be one of the clubs monitoring his situation.
Any move would first require the Red Devils to offload their current No.1, Andre Onana. Reports on Friday claimed Monaco were exploring a move for the Cameroon international, who has made several high-profile blunders since joining from Inter Milan two years ago.
Villa have been scouting possible replacements in case Martinez departs and Chevalier, who played against them in the Conference League during the 2023-24 season, is thought to be high on their list.
The 23-year-old is considered one of the best young keepers in France and Lille are expected to demand around £40million for his services.
