Aston Villa will reportedly demand around €20-25 million to part ways with 32-year-old Argentine international Emiliano Martinez in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Turkish outlet Futbol Arena, Emiliano Martinez is the subject of interest from Galatasaray. The Turkish giants are combing the market for a goalkeeper heading into the summer transfer window. So, the Aston Villa shot-stopper has emerged as a target for the Super Lig champions.

Meanwhile, the Villans have decided their asking price to part ways with the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner in the summer transfer window. Aston Villa will demand around €20-25 million to sell the experienced goalkeeper, with Galatasaray also interested in Andriy Lunin and Alisson Becker.

Emiliano Martinez and his soaring stock

Emiliano Martinez has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League since joining Aston Villa from Arsenal in September 2020. A run between the sticks in the second half of the 2019/20 season sent the 32-year-old goalkeeper’s stock skyrocketing, and he has not looked back since then.

The Argentine international has been a mainstay between the sticks for his club and country in the last half a decade, and he was instrumental in Argentina’s World Cup-winning campaign three years ago. Meanwhile, Martinez has turned out over 200 times thus far for Aston Villa while keeping 70 clean sheets and conceding 256 goals. However, his spell with the West Midlands club will likely end in the summer transfer window.

What next?

Recent reports have linked Emiliano Martinez with several well-known clubs across Europe, including Barcelona and Manchester United. However, Galatasaray will aim to beat the competition to the Aston Villa goalkeeper’s signature in the summer transfer window, with the Villans setting their price.

The West Midlands club will demand around €20-25 million to part ways with the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Galatasaray captain Fernando Muslera is in the twilight of his career, and the Turkish outfit must dip into the market for a younger goalkeeper. So, Martinez, Andriy Lunin, and Alisson Becker have emerged on their wishlist.

Interestingly, Lunin is also a target for Aston Villa, with the Ukrainian international likely to leave Real Madrid in the summer transfer window. As for Martinez, it will be interesting to see if Aston Villa can recoup around €20-25 million from the 32-year-old Argentine international’s sale in the coming weeks.
