Manchester United have made formal contact with Emi Martínez’s representatives, according to reports in Argentina, as the club ramps up plans for a summer overhaul. The Emi Martínez transfer news signals serious intent from Erik ten Hag’s successor, Ruben Amorim, who has already greenlit moves for Matheus Cunha and now eyes a replacement for Andre Onana.
Villa Braced for Premier League Raid
Despite having signed a long-term deal until 2029, Martínez could command a major fee. Aston Villa paid just £20m to Arsenal in 2020, but the World Cup winner has since become one of the world’s top goalkeepers — and a significant asset amid PSR deadlines.

Contract Length, Price & Replacement Plans
Villa will only sell at a premium, especially with PSR regulations requiring balance sheets before 30 June. Martínez’s contract extension puts the club in a strong position, but they are already preparing for life without him. Names like Lille’s Lucas Chevalier and Joan García were in contention, but Barcelona snapped up García while Kelleher joined Brentford.
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Club | Aston Villa |
| Age | 32 |
| Contract Until | 2029 |
| Estimated Fee | £50m+ |
| Premier League Clean Sheets (2024/25) | 14 |
Martínez’s Premier League Preference a Boost for United
While Saudi and La Liga interest persists, Martínez wants to remain in England, having lived there since moving from Independiente in 2010. That puts Manchester United firmly in pole position, assuming they meet Villa’s valuation and move swiftly ahead of the PSR deadline.
