On Friday, we covered claims from Argentina which stated Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez won’t move to Saudi Arabia but can still leave Villa Park in the summer window.
Later that day, he started in Aston Villa’s 2-0 league win over Tottenham Hotspur at Villa Park. After the tie, the 32-year-old looked emotional and waved goodbye to the home fans.
TyC Sports state the Argentina international was tearful because there’s a good chance he can leave Aston Villa. His contract is until 2029 but Unai Emery’s side are willing to listen to offers.
The report claims the stopper has three offers, one from Saudi Arabia and two from top European clubs. The details of these teams or their proposals haven’t been mentioned, and he won’t accept an offer from the Middle East.
Journalist Gastón Edul took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to report that ‘big’ European clubs have made offers. He further adds the Aston Villa star will accept one of them in the upcoming window.
Edul’s claim is echoed by Germán García Grova, who adds Martínez is ‘one step away’ from leaving Aston Villa.
To sum it up, the World Cup winner will leave Aston Villa but won’t be moving to Saudi Arabia. There should be more clarity on his interested parties in the next few days.
