Premier League
Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez does not close the door on Manchester United. The Argentine goalkeeper would be willing to wear red even without the guarantee of playing in the next edition of the Champions League. The interest has arisen in a context of uncertainty around André Onana, who, despite still being part of the club's official plans, could see his continuity compromised if United decides to change course in goal.
The initial idea at Old Trafford was to bring in a backup to strengthen competition in goal. However, the possibility of signing an experienced and leadership goalkeeper like Martinez has altered the plans. Preliminary contacts have already been made from the player's environment, although Aston Villa has not yet received any formal offer from United.
Aston Villa needs to sell Dibu Martinez
In Birmingham, the financial situation—particularly compliance with FFP rules—forces the club to consider proposals for certain assets. Although Martinez is under contract until 2029 and is a key figure in the dressing room, the club does not rule out a sale if the amount exceeds 30 million pounds. It could even approach 40 million, a figure similar to Mike Maignan's recent value.
Dibu, a World Cup champion with Argentina and one of the most solid goalkeepers in the Premier League, fits the profile that Rúben Amorim is looking for: personality, reflexes, and aerial game solidity. It will all depend on Onana's future and whether United dares to take the step. What is clear is that the Argentine is more than willing to take on the challenge.
