Emiliano Martinez likely to join MU

The Old Trafford club decided not to negotiate with Aston Villa about the Argentine goalkeeper.

According to the Telegraph , Manchester United do not consider Emiliano Martinez as a target for the goalkeeper position. Previously, the Argentine goalkeeper was said to be ready to join Old Trafford. Aston Villa valued the 1992-born star at around 40 million euros.

MU's move came right after British media reported that Andre Onana refused to join AS Monaco. The former Inter star is determined to stay and prove himself in the "Red Devils" shirt.

Martinez is a world class goalkeeper.

Manchester United's goalkeeping situation has become one of the most talked about issues this summer, with Andre Onana's future in doubt. Despite his impressive performances since joining from Inter Milan for £47m in 2023, the Cameroon international has made some costly mistakes.

As United look to upgrade their goalkeeper, rumours of a move for Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa have begun to emerge. With a World Cup and Copa America title with Argentina, and a record helping Villa qualify for the Champions League, Martinez is considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world today.

But if they sign Martinez, Man United will certainly have to solve the problem of Onana, who certainly won't accept being on the bench after just two seasons.

The most likely scenario is that Onana will remain at Old Trafford, with United bringing in a quality second-choice goalkeeper to provide real competition. In that case, Altay Bayindir will likely have to leave to make room for a more viable option.

Meanwhile, after failing to woo Onana, Monaco turned to Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic. Petrovic impressed on loan at Strasbourg and helped the French club qualify for the European Cup.

The Serbian goalkeeper is considering his future at Chelsea, where he faces competition from Robert Sanchez, Mike Penders and new signing Filip Jorgensen. Chelsea's attempts to offload Petrovic to make way for younger talent could help Monaco move quickly.
