Premier League
Emiliano Martínez, a 33-year-old Argentine goalkeeper, is open to becoming a new signing for Chelsea if the London club decides to make a move for him in the final days of the transfer window. Aston Villa is already looking for an exit for the goalkeeper after signing Zion Suzuki, while Xabi Alonso is considering alternatives for the goal.
The deal has gained strength this Wednesday, after Martinez's representatives offered the player to Chelsea. The English team is considering the possibility of signing him following Robert Sánchez's performance at the beginning of the season.
Emiliano Martínez awaits Chelsea's move
Martínez has made it clear that he is willing to swap Aston Villa for Chelsea. The Argentine international would even agree to join the London team without competing in European competitions this season, so the decision now lies with the club.
The situation at Villa Park favors the departure. Aston Villa has secured the arrival of Zion Suzuki for around 30 million euros, an operation that positions the Japanese player as a candidate for the starting position and leaves Martinez with a different scenario than initially anticipated at the beginning of the summer.
The Argentine had already sought an exit during this transfer window. Juventushad negotiated his signing, but the operation was ultimately discarded, and the Italian team eventually opted for Guglielmo Vicario. A previous proposal of 10 million euros for Martinez was also rejected by Aston Villa.
The goalkeeper's sporting situation has also changed. Martinez was not called up for Aston Villa's league debut against Brighton on August 23, a match that ended in a 4-0 defeat.

An operation below 10 million
The price may facilitate the agreement. Aston Villa would be willing to consider a sale for less than 10 million pounds, an amount much lower than the usual figures for a goalkeeper of his profile, opening the door to a swift negotiation.
Chelsea had until recently maintained confidence in Robert Sánchez and Mike Penders, but the errors of the Spanish goalkeeper against Fulham have altered the scenario. Sánchez was involved in both goals conceded in the 3-2 victory of the London team.
For Xabi Alonso, Martinez represents an immediate alternative for the goal due to his accumulated experience in the Premier League and with the Argentine national team. The Spanish coach is evaluating the available options while Chelsea considers whether to make a move in the final stretch of the transfer window.
Chelsea has recently conducted operations with Aston Villa, including the transfer of Morgan Rogers for 117 million pounds, while both clubs are also negotiating other movements during this transfer window.
Now the next step is up to Chelsea. Martinez is available, and his price is below 10 million pounds, but the London club must decide before the market closes whether to turn their interest into a formal offer for Emiliano Martinez.
