Emiliano Martinez refuses Chelsea despite an offer of several million. The Aston Villa goalkeeper favors another club.
While the summer transfer window is intensifying in the Premier League, Emiliano Martinez Shake behind the scenes. Aston Villa would have proposed his goalkeeper to Chelsea for a sum of around 53 million euros. A serious proposal, but quickly cooled by the will of the player himself.
Chelsea interested, but the goalkeeper closes the door
Blues leaders have the necessary financial means. The London club is active on several files, in particular to strengthen its defensive sector. However, despite the transmitted offer, Martinez has no intention of joining Stamford Bridge.
At 32, the 2022 world champion favors a specific destination: Manchester United. According to The Mirror, He only considers a departure in the direction of Old Trafford.
Martinez targeted by Manchester United
On the side of the Red Devils, mistrust aroundAndré Onana grew up. The Cameroonian porter, who came from Inter Milan, has not fully convinced. His irregular performances have given way to doubt.
Ruben Amorim is looking for a reliable, experienced solution capable of reassuring its rearguard. Emiliano Martinez meets these requirements. Trained in Independiente, who passed by Arsenal, he has crossed an impressive course since his arrival at Aston Villa.
A contract until 2029: a complex but possible transfer
Martinez is contractually linked to Aston Villa until June 2029. This detail complicates the task for the contenders. The Birmingham club wishes to maximize its profit. The 53 million proposed in Chelsea constitute a first estimate, likely to evolve in the event of auction.
Manchester United could formulate a similar offer in the coming weeks. The player, in full sporting maturity, seems open to this project.
Chelsea will have to turn to other targets
Martinez's refusal forces Chelsea to explore other tracks. The Blues wish to strengthen competition as goalkeeper. The sought -after profile combines youth and experience, like a Diogo Costa (Porto) or a Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valence).
The priority remains to secure a clear hierarchy in the cages, in parallel with the offensive and defensive adjustments initiated by Enzo Maresca.
