‘Stopped’ by former Benfica man, Emi Martínez already knows his future | OneFootball

After a rather frenzied market close for many European clubs, notably Manchester United, Emiliano Martínez, who was in line to be a reinforcement for the red devils, now knows where he will continue his career. It's known that the Argentine wanted to leave Aston Villa, but his move to Old Trafford was 'blocked' by Rúben Amorim.

During deadline day, the press revealed that Dibu was the choice of the former Benfica player, however, he instead preferred to sign Senne Lammens from Antwerp. The decision not to proceed with the 2022 World Champion ended up shattering the dreams of the goalkeeper himself, who was convinced he would head to Manchester United.

As far as the press could find out, the goalkeeper, who had already said goodbye to the fans at the end of last season, will then remain at Aston Villa, where he will be reintegrated into Unai Emery's squad, after being left out of the match against Crystal Palace, which ended in a 3-0 defeat.

With the market closing in the main European leagues, Galatasaray, who failed to sign Ederson, went back in for the Argentine goalkeeper. However, as far as it could be understood, Emi Martínez promptly refused the invitation, as he is not interested in playing in Turkish football.

"They told me that Emi gave a lot as a professional and as a person, they love him, and it was visible on the field. He is very dear, and the directors didn't want to sell him because he is the key player of the team", explained Alejandro Martínez, the Argentine's brother about his relationship with the Birmingham emblem.
