Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months, but he failed to secure an exit on deadline day.

Manchester United wanted to sign Emiliano Martinez but never really got a deadline-day deal done. According to a report by Football Insider, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is now ready to reintegrate the Argentine international into the squad.

Meanwhile, an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Turkish clubs are keen on signing Martinez but that he is not ready to move to Turkey yet. Aston Villa paid £17 million for the player, and he has been exceptional for them in the last half a decade.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup winner is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, and keeping him at Villa Park will be a huge boost for the West Midlands club. Recent reports have claimed that Aston Villa never received a bid for Martinez.

Aston Villa will look to challenge for trophies this season, and they need to hold onto their best players. Emiliano Martinez is likely to be an asset for them this season. It remains to be seen whether he can focus on his football once again and perform at a high level. With the World Cup coming up next year, he will want to be ready for the mega tournament.

Aston Villa needed to keep their best players

Aston Villa will also look to compete in Europe after qualifying for the UEFA Europa League. They need their top players firing on all cylinders, and Emiliano Martinez falls in that category. It will be interesting to see if top clubs decide to come back for him in January or next summer.

There is no doubt that the 32-year-old is a quality player, and he deserves to compete at the highest level. Manchester United wanted to sign the player, but they ended up landing Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp instead.

It seems unlikely that Manchester United will return for the player any time soon. Martinez is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to compete at the highest level and win major trophies. He has already won the World Cup and Copa America with Argentina, and he will want to win major trophies at the club level now.
