Manchester United continues its pressure in the summer transfer market, after reopening the contract file with Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, the protector of Aston Villa, a few days before the Mercato window was closed.
Why does Manchester United insist on the inclusion of Martinez?
According to what the specialized journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed, the Manchester United administration returned to the negotiating table with Aston Villa, in an attempt to resolve a deal that included Martinez, who is considered one of the most prominent English Premier League guards. The 32 -year -old goalkeeper has a long -term contract that extends until June 30, 2029, but the desire of the “Red Devils” did not stop though.
Aston Villa’s position on negotiations
The Aston Villa administration had closed the door to any offers for the guardian’s departure earlier in the summer, but now it has become more open to selling it, provided that it is obtained for a large money worthy of his technical value. Martinez himself has recently rejected an offer from the Saudi League, stressing that his priority remains a challenge at the sports level in Europe.
Manchester United alternatives offered
Parallel to his endeavor to include Martinez, Manchester United is negotiating with the Belgian Royal Antwerp in order to contract goalkeeper Sen Sen Lamense. This move reflects the administration’s desire to strengthen the goalkeeping center with a strong deal, whether it succeeds in resolving its first choice or was forced to move to the alternative.
Does Manchester United decide the deal before the Mercato is closed?
The coming hours will be decisive, especially since the Manchester United administration seems to be determined to end the deal quickly, while the team’s fans are awaiting if Martinez will become the new goalkeeper of the team, or that the “Red Devils” will go to other options.
