Aston Villa previously had a quiet transfer window due to PSR restrictions. Their first big business could be a sale.
Aston Villa’s only senior signature so far was goalkeeper Marco Bizotto, who had arrived to back up to Emiliano Martinez. However, amid the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the future of the World Cup winner, he could plunge into his first role.
Martinez is strongly linked to running away all summer, but has been pursued by Man United for the past few weeks, but now he is more likely to head to the Middle East.
Emi Martinez is considering moving to Saudi Arabia
According to Clarin (via Gaul), Martinez has received an offer from Saudi Arabia, and is increasingly convinced by his move to Saudi Arabia.
Aston Villa is more likely to accept the offer from here compared to Man United, considering that it means it won’t sell to its direct Premier League rival. Moreover, better financial proposals will almost certainly come from Saudi Arabia.
Losing Martinez, who has been a big player for them since Aston Villa arrived from Arsenal five years ago, would be a big blow. However, we hope to make a decision as soon as possible, but we feel that it is now that the time for both parties to separate ways will come.
Aston Villa is eager to spend the money as they try to improve their team before the new Premier League season begins in three weeks. Martinez’s sale allows cash to splash, but for now he remains at Villa Park.
