Premier League
Manchester United still has Emiliano Martínez on its radar as one of the main candidates to strengthen its goalkeeping position for the future, but Aston Villa's economic aspirations could hinder any progress in the operation. As reported by the 'Daily Mail', the Birmingham team has set a price tag of 46 million euros for the Argentine goalkeeper, a figure considered excessive at Old Trafford.
Martínez, 32 years old and a World Cup champion with Argentina, has been performing at a very high level in the Premier League for several seasons, attracting the interest of several top clubs on the continent. In the case of United, the club is seeking serious competition for André Onana, who has not fully convinced since his arrival. However, the high transfer cost demanded by Villa poses a significant obstacle.
Negotiations are becoming complicated between both parties
The Villains have no intention of facilitating the departure of one of their defensive pillars, considering that "Dibu's" market value reflects his performance, leadership, and international experience. Furthermore, the Argentine has a contract in place until 2027, giving them strong negotiation leverage.
Although Manchester United continues to explore options to enhance its squad, it appears unlikely they are willing to make such a substantial investment for a goalkeeper. Unless there is a change in stance from Aston Villa or a compelling offer from Manchester, the signing of Emiliano Martínez seems, for now, to be a complex operation.
