Aston Villa's goalkeeper and World Cup champion Emiliano Martínez appears set to leave the club this summer. According to the Latin American outlet DSPORTS, the Argentine has received two offers—one from Manchester United and another from Barcelona.

Just recently, Martínez drew attention with his emotional gesture after a 2-0 victory over Tottenham—he circled the Villa Park pitch with tears in his eyes and waved to the stands, as though bidding farewell. This sparked a wave of speculation about his possible departure.

Previously, Martínez had been linked with clubs from Saudi Arabia, but now he seems inclined to continue his career in Europe. The Champions League remains his top priority. This means Manchester United will need to win the Europa League final against Tottenham to keep their chances of signing the Argentine alive; otherwise, Barcelona will have the upper hand.

Although Transfermarkt values Martínez at €25 million, his contract with Villa runs until 2029, making it unlikely the club would let their key player go for that amount. The expected transfer fee is set to be considerably higher.
