Comparing Emiliano Martinez’s current wages with the rest of Chelsea’s squad | OneFootball

Chelsea are being linked with a move for Aston Villa and Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez – but how would his wages potentially fit into the current pay structure?

The Blues are scouring the market for a new goalkeeper after Robert Sanchez made two errors in their opening Premier League match at Fulham.

Martinez’s future at Villa Park is uncertain after a move to Juventus did not proceed earlier this month, and Villa have signed Zion Suzuki to be their new first-choice goalkeeper.

The 33-year-old has been offered to both Chelsea and Tottenham. He comes with vast Premier League experience and would arguably be the missing piece of Xabi Alonso’s jigsaw.

But Martinez earns a hefty £150,000 per week currently, a wage that would put him amongst Chelsea’s top earners even without a pay rise.

Here’s a full breakdown of every player in Chelsea’s squad and how much they earn in wages compared to Martinez at Aston Villa. We have excluded Nicolas Jackson, Liam Delap and Axel Disasi, who are all set to leave Stamford Bridge.
