Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez received an unexpected blow in his career. The goalkeeper for the Argentina National Team had decided to leave Aston Villa and had reached a contractual agreement with Manchester United. However, negotiations between clubs never progressed: communication was not optimal and ultimately the English side signed Belgian Senne Lammens, who came from Royal Antwerp, for 21 million euros.
The transfer of the world champion was valued at around 30 million euros, but United chose to invest less money in Lammens and set aside the arrival of the Argentine. That turn left him shaken and facing an uncertain outlook.
In this context, the relationship with Aston Villa became strained. The goalkeeper requested not to play in the last match and, according to reports, the club would sideline him from the team after he forced his departure, leaving a completely deteriorated image.
However, a club has emerged that wants to sign him immediately: Galatasaray. The Turkish team submitted a formal offer of 25 million euros to sign him right away to fill the vacancy left by Fernando Muslera, who is currently at Estudiantes de La Plata. The proposal includes a three-season contract, with a salary that would place him among the highest paid on the squad.
