Inter Milan contact Dibu Martínez over potential move, claim Italy | OneFootball

The thwarted departure of Emiliano Martínez to Manchester United, which had led Aston Villa to cover their backs by signing Marco Bizot, could now happen towards Serie A, as Sky Sport Italia reported that Inter Milan has made a move for his signing.

The Argentine national team goalkeeper had already hinted that he was looking for a change of scenery after five seasons with The Villans, and now that he is in his sixth, the opportunity has arisen to make it possible to become a teammate of Lautaro Martínez.

According to Sky Sport, Inter has already made initial contact with Dibu, although not to add him in the current European transfer market but once the season ends in June, so the deal could be finalized while he plays his second World Cup with Argentina.

For a while now, Milan has been searching for the ideal replacement for Yan Sommer, the 37-year-old Swiss goalkeeper whose contract will not be renewed when it expires mid-year. Emiliano Martínez, on the other hand, has a contract with Aston Villa until June 2029, so beyond reaching an agreement with the player, the Nerazzurri will have to present a financial offer that meets the expectations of the English club.

Although according to the latest update from Transfermarkt, the Argentine goalkeeper is valued at 15 million euros, it is enough to recall the stance taken at Villa Park in negotiations with Manchester United to suspect they will demand a much higher amount. In August, they even rejected a 40 million euro offer from the Red Devils.

Also, in terms of contract, the salary Emiliano Martínez receives is considered very high by the Italian club's sports management, although they are confident that this is an aspect they can resolve with the player if his desire is a change for his career.
