Emi Martinez: After managing the goal bar of the English Premier League giant club Arsenal for 8 years, Argentine World Cup-winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez joined Aston Villa in 2020. His Villa chapter is also coming to an end. Now there are various rumors about Emi’s transfer. The rumors have taken a new turn in a report by the British media ‘The Sun’. According to them, Martinez can return to his old address, Arsenal.
However, there is a condition involved. In a special report, ‘The Sun’ says that if David Raya returns to Spain, Arsenal want to bring back their old star Martinez. This 32-year-old goalkeeper can also take a second chance at the old Emirates club. Because Arsenal’s 29-year-old current goalkeeper is going to La Liga. This Spanish goalkeeper is on Real Madrid’s short list.
Real Madrid mainly wants to replace their Belgian star Thibaut Courtois in the long term. There are also rumors that new coach Xabi Alonso wants to bring a new face to replace Courtois and Andre Lunin. As such, the name of Spanish goalkeeper David Raya is coming to Real’s possible list. In addition, their city rivals Atletico Madrid are also keeping an eye on him. Because Saudi Arabia has offered a big sum to their current Slovenian goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

David Raya has been in great form this season. He was also excellent in the Premier League for Arsenal. If he can keep a clean sheet against Southampton in Sunday’s match, Raya can win the Golden Glove award again. Despite such form, the Gunners will let Raya go if they get the desired price. Arsenal also know that there is a big offer from Saudi Arabia for Martinez, as well as several other teams interested in him.
Aston Villa defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 on May 16. After that match, Amy Martinez responded to the audience’s greetings with tearful eyes. Rumors have started whether her gesture was a farewell message to the audience. That was their last match at Villa Park this season. Villa has a match against Manchester United on Sunday. That match will determine whether they will be able to play the Champions League next season. And Martinez will play a role in deciding that.
Amy joined Villa from Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in 2020. Earlier, he played a big role in the Gunners’ FA Cup win after Bernd Leno’s injury. After changing clubs, the Albiceleste star had career-best moments, such as winning two consecutive Copa Americas and the Qatar World Cup for the national team. He was also FIFA’s best goalkeeper twice in a row.
