Sky Sport already reported earlier this week that Inter had established contact with the player’s camp, and transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio now adds that the Nerazzurri met with Martinez’s agent and his brother on Tuesday.
Dibu Martinez, 33, still has a long-term contract at Aston Villa, expiring in June 2029, but several sources refuse to rule out his exit over the summer.

Martinez has also been linked with a summer move to Tottenham if Inter sign Guglielmo Vicario.

According to Di Marzio, Inter confirmed their interest in Martinez in the meeting with the goalkeeper’s entourage, but also said they’d offer a maximum of €4m per season plus add-ons.
