He has helped Argentina national team to win World Cup and Copa America. In addition, he has also played major role in Villa’s recent success under Unai Emery.
Martinez has opened the exit door from Villa this summer. He is ready to move-on and Villa are unwilling to stand in his way. The Birmingham club wants to raise funds to comply with PSR. Hence, they have made him available for £40 million in the transfer market.
As of now, Martinez is very heavily linked with Man United. He wants to stay in England and hence given green light to joining United. The Red Devils are ready to move on from Andre Onana. The Cameroon international has commited multiple errors due to which he can ne sold this summer.

The Blues tried to sign Mike Maignan earlier, but the deal failed. Now, they can try to sign Martinez but will have to spend lot more than Maignan deal.
