In recent weeks, information began circulating in England about the possible departure of Emiliano Martínez from Aston Villa for the next season. His tears after the victory against Tottenham fueled the speculations, and as the days went by, a supposed interest from Barcelona gained ground.
After being crowned champion in LaLiga, the Culé team would be looking for a goalkeeper who can compete equally with Wojciech Szczęsny, as it is very likely that Marc-André ter Stegen will pack his bags for Saudi football. However, the Mar del Plata native is not the only one on the list, as Diogo Costa, currently at Porto, and Joan García, who plays for Espanyol, also appear as options.
Beyond this chance to join Barcelona, both journalist Gastón Edul and the newspaper AS pointed out that Atlético de Madrid also have Dibu in their sights, as they consider Jan Oblak's departure possible if an irresistible economic offer appears. Even Diego Simeone himself contacted the goalkeeper after the Qatar 2022 World Cup, although at that time no proposal was ever formalized to Aston Villa's executives, who would already be looking for his replacement.
