The Argentine number one will reportedly be on the move this summer, with Aston Villa at risk of missing out on the Champions League places.

The rumours only intensified on Friday night, following Aston Villa’s victory over Tottenham in their final home match of the season.
As the players set off on their lap of appreciation, Martinez was in tears, appearing to wave goodbye to the home fans as he walked off the pitch.
If the goalkeeper is to depart, it will serve as a huge blow to Villa.
Since joining from Arsenal in 2020, Martinez has been ever-present, making 211 appearances so far for the Villans.
But it was the 2022 World Cup in Qatar that really saw his career lift off.

Selected for Argentina, Martinez enjoyed a great tournament as his team made it to the final against France.
And in the final, as the match went into extra time, Martinez made an iconic save to deny Randal Kolo Muani when the striker broke through on goal.
The save became a historic World Cup moment, with Argentina winning the penalty shootout following.
The goalkeeper would go on to win the Yashin Trophy in both 2023 and 2024, establishing himself as one of the word’s best goalkeepers.
Manchester United for Martinez?
And according to DSports, the next step in his career could come at Old Trafford.
The South American broadcaster report that Martinez has offers from Manchester United and Barcelona this summer.
With Andre Onana potentially on the move, Martinez could represent the reliable goalkeeper Ruben Amorim has been looking for.
