Club now offers to sell £100,000-a-week player who Mauricio Pochettino wants at Chelsea
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The transfer saga surrounding Emiliano Martinez continues to unfold, with new developments suggesting that Aston Villa is now willing to sell the goalkeeper, who has caught the attention of Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino.
Martinez, who has established himself as a top-tier goalkeeper since joining Aston Villa from Arsenal in September 2020, is reportedly a target for Pochettino as he seeks competition for Chelsea’s current goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The Daily Mail reports that Aston Villa is open to offers for Martinez this summer, indicating a potential willingness to part ways with the player. Unai Emery, Aston Villa’s manager, is said to be considering offers for Martinez amid the club’s focus on other positions during the transfer window. However, the specific asking price for Martinez is not mentioned in the report.
Martinez’s impressive performances have earned him recognition, including winning the Golden Glove award at the FIFA World Cup. He kept 13 clean sheets in 36 Premier League appearances during the 2022/23 season, showcasing his skill both in shot-stopping and playing with the ball at his feet.
The report suggests that if Aston Villa’s asking price for Martinez is reasonable, around £30m or £40m, Chelsea should consider pursuing the transfer. While Chelsea has reportedly made a bid for Brighton’s Robert Sanchez, Martinez’s superior skills and abilities make him an appealing option for Chelsea’s goalkeeping needs.
As the transfer window unfolds, fans will be eager to see how the situation develops and whether Chelsea decides to make a move for Emiliano Martinez to strengthen their squad.
