Emiliano Martinez Sets Manchester United as Top Priority Amid Transfer Talks
Emiliano Martinez is preparing for a new chapter in his career as he plans to leave Aston Villa in the summer 2025 transfer window. Despite receiving lucrative offers from clubs in the Middle East, the Argentine goalkeeper has made it clear that his preferred destination is Manchester United. This decision reflects his desire to maintain a high level of competition ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Martinez’s main motivation for targeting Manchester United is to ensure he continues playing regularly at the highest level, keeping himself sharp for Argentina’s crucial World Cup campaign. The intense pressure and visibility that come with playing for a club of United’s stature offer the ideal environment for him to stay in peak form. His impressive performances over the past four seasons at Aston Villa have attracted many suitors, but the financial incentives abroad have not swayed his ambition to remain in Europe.
While Middle Eastern clubs have shown strong interest with attractive offers, Martinez prioritizes competitive football over salary. He views the 2026 World Cup as potentially his last major international tournament and wants to secure his position as Argentina’s first-choice goalkeeper by playing consistently in top-tier leagues. His strategic focus on Manchester United also aligns with the uncertainty surrounding the current Red Devils’ goalkeeper, Andre Onana.
United still considers Onana part of their plans, but the Cameroonian keeper might be sold if a suitable offer arrives, likely opening the door for Martinez. The Argentine goalkeeper’s readiness to accept a move to Manchester United signals his commitment to continue competing at the highest level, making him a prime target for the club as they finalize their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
