According to Transfer News expert Fabrizio Romano, Aston Villa has a formal approach to Royal Antwerp when it comes to Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
The 23-year-old quickly became a prominent figure in European football and is considered one of the Villa’s main targets if Emiliano Martinez leaves the club this summer.
Martinez, the shot stopper who won the Villa World Cup, has been attracting a lot of attention from Manchester United.
Villas have no desire to lose one of their most important players, but the market reality forced them to prepare a contingency plan.
Aston Villa is interested in Sen Runmen’s
Romano reports that Lammens has emerged as a major option alongside Porto’s highly rated Diogo Costa, alongside the villa’s highly-rated list of candidates.
The goalkeeper situation has become really interesting as Man United has been following Lanmen for a long time, but now they are paying attention to Martinez and considering Lanmen for the Villa.
Rammen, who is currently with Royal Antwerp, is considered one of Belgium’s most promising young goalkeepers. Standing at 6 feet 5 inches, the goalkeeper has attracted the attention of some of the world’s biggest clubs.
Man United holds the key to Villa signing Ranmen
The key to the villa goalkeeper’s re-shuffle is at United. A talk is underway between the two clubs surrounding Martinez, and Amorim is keen to add proven quality and leadership to his team.
If United meets the Villa evaluation, it will pave the way for Rammen, or potentially Costa, to intervene as the new number one for Villa Park.
For now, Martinez continues to be a villa player, but the fact that an official approach has already been made to Antwerp indicates that the villa does not want to be caught off guard.
