Inter Milan reportedly contact Dibu Martínez over transfer | OneFootball

The failed transfer of Emiliano Martínez to Manchester United, which had led Aston Villa to cover themselves by signing Marco Bizot, could now happen in Serie A, as Sky Sport Italia has 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, as he is in his sixth, the opportunity has arisen to make it happen and become a teammate of Lautaro Martínez.

According to Sky Sport, Inter has already established initial contacts with Dibu, although not to bring him in during the current European transfer window, but rather once the season ends, in June. Therefore, the deal could be finalized while he is playing his second World Cup with Argentina.

For some time 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 in the middle of the year. Emiliano Martínez, meanwhile, has a contract with Aston Villa until June 2029, so beyond reaching an agreement with the player, the Nerazzurri will have to make 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 Villa Park took in negotiations with Manchester United to suspect that 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 his contract, the salary Emiliano Martínez receives is considered very high by the Italian club's sporting management, although they are confident this is an aspect they can resolve with the player if he wishes to make a change in his career.
