A photo of Aston Villa star Emiliano Martínez has gone viral online on Monday.
This comes after the Argentine international was spotted in the city of Barcelona.
The name of goalkeeper Martínez has of course proven an altogether prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital over the course of the last week.
This comes after speculation was forthcoming in the media that the former Arsenal man had been earmarked as a potential summer signing on the part of Barcelona.
Amid an alleged search for reinforcements between the posts, the Blaugrana are said to have identified Martínez as a leading option.
In turn, it caused quite a stir upon the World Cup winner being spotted arriving in Barcelona airport on Monday.
As showcased in the photo below, Martínez and his family touched down in the Spanish city this afternoon.
Jijantes, meanwhile, have since provided some context to the situation:
‘Dibu Martínez has arrived in Barcelona with his family to spend a few days off. Jorge Mendes, also in Barcelona, is advising the Aston Villa goalkeeper to find his next destination.’
