According to the Argentine newspaper Clarin, MU is having positive negotiations with Aston Villa about the Emiliano Martinez deal.

This source confirmed that the agreements between the two sides are almost complete and the number 1 goalkeeper of the Argentine national team is preparing to leave Aston Villa to join MU.

Additional information provided, although Emiliano Martinez has a contract termination clause of 25 million euros, MU is willing to pay Aston Villa more, being given nearly 30 million euros to have the 32-year-old goalkeeper as well as the convenience of dividing the payment into installments.

Lanacion said that coach Ruben Amorim personally asked the MU recruitment team to bring in 'Dibu' Emiliano Martinez to replace Andre Onana, who was injured in a recent training session and will be out for about 2 months.

Besides the fact that Onana is almost certain to miss the start of the new 2025/26 season with MU, the Cameroon goalkeeper has not really created trust in front of the MU goal, since coming to Old Trafford under Erik ten Hag. Last season, Onana made many fatal mistakes and Amorim wants more solidity in the Red Devils' defense.

Emiliano Martinez is considered an ideal addition to MU, due to his extensive experience in the Premier League as well as his talent for flying in front of goal and taking penalties.
