The goalkeeper’s agent and the Italian team’s management have already held meetings regarding his transfer after the World Cup. The first impressions were positive, and both parties are optimistic about reaching a successful agreement.

The World Cup-winning goalkeeper and two-time Copa América champion with the Argentine National Team would be the chosen one to replace Yann Sommer, whose contract ends on June 30 at the age of 37 and is not expected to be renewed. So far, the financial details of the potential deal have not been disclosed.

Although Dibu Martínez has expressed his desire to seek a new challenge and grow professionally on several occasions, he feels comfortable at Aston Villa and is very popular among the fans. That’s why he remains at the club and expects to finalize his departure only after the World Cup is over.

The first impressions from the meetings with Inter were positive, and if all goes well, the goalkeeper will become the new teammate of Lautaro Martínez and Tomás Palacios. His current contract with the English club runs until June 2029, but everything suggests that the end of this story is near.
