Emiliano Martínez appeared emotional after Aston Villa’s final home game of last season. It was seen as an indication that he could leave the Villans this summer and Manchester United have been regularly named as his suitor.
Several very confident claims from Argentina have insisted, over a period of months, that the goalkeeper is heading for Manchester United. On August 19th, journalist Gastón Edul then reported Ruben Amorim had failed to convince the club’s board to sign the 32-year-old.
Recent claims from Belgium have stated Manchester United are keen on Royal Antwerp stopper Senne Lammens. On Sunday, claims from elsewhere reported they are again looking at the Aston Villa player.
The Argentine media discuss the latest on the possibility of Martínez leaving Aston Villa for Manchester United on deadline day. Journalist César Luis Merlo took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to report that the stopper has agreed personal terms with Amorim’s side.
He adds Manchester United are negotiating with Unai Emery’s side ‘to buy’ the Argentina international. The outcome depends on discussions between the two clubs.
On Sunday, the World Cup winner wasn’t in the squad for Aston Villa’s defeat to Crystal Palace. Emery has insisted the player’s future needs to be resolved today.
Olé also report on Manchester United’s new attempt to sign the former Arsenal man.
The Argentine newspaper contacted sources close to the South American to get an update on the Red Devils’ fresh approach.
‘It’s true that United are back in the hunt for Emi, but it’s not certain he’ll leave,’ a source said.
Manchester United have Martínez and Lammens as options on the table, and the latter is also a new target for Aston Villa.
