Emiliano Martínez linked with club managed by former Benfica boss | OneFootball

Emiliano Martínez, experienced Argentine goalkeeper, is the target desired by Rúben Amorim to strengthen Manchester United’s goal. This was the target chosen by the former Benfica player to find a solution to the problems he has had with the red devils’ goalkeepers, who have been making successive mistakes.

According to the British press, the agreement between the two clubs is close to happening. The Argentine’s move to Old Trafford gained even more momentum after the player was left out of Aston Villa’s squad for the home match against Crystal Palace, which took place yesterday.

Apparently, the World Cup winner with Argentina has already told the Birmingham club’s management that he wants to leave and move to Manchester United. This position is reinforced by Fabrizio Romano, who, through his account on social network X, reveals that the compatriot of Nicolás Otamendi already has a preliminary agreement with the red devils.

The same source, which reveals that both parties are close to finalizing the transfer agreement, states that, with the imminent loss of ‘Dibu’ to Rúben Amorim, Aston Villa already has a replacement lined up, in this case Diogo Costa, goalkeeper and captain of Porto. However, the English club will only move for the Portuguese after the Argentine’s departure.

With many problems in goal, currently entrusted to André Onana and Altay Bayindir, Rúben Amorim is therefore close to securing the signing of an experienced goalkeeper, capable of providing an immediate response to the team’s needs. If the deal does not go through, the other option on the table is Senne Lammens, from Antwerp.
