Breaking news: £30m-£34m proven star willing to seal move to Manchester United – Report
Manchester United have an incredibly important summer ahead of them. The Red Devils have so much work to do between now and the end of the summer transfer window. Ruben Amorim needs to build a squad that can compete in the Premier League.
With no European football to worry about next season, it gives United the chance to solely focus on the Premier League. It has been a long time since they have even been in contention to win it and next season offers the chance.
In his short time as Man Utd manager, Amorim has shown that he is not afraid to make difficult decisions. On the final matchday of the season, the ex-Sporting CP manager left Andre Onana out of the squad entirely, seemingly sending a message about his future.
Thus, a new goalkeeper could get into the team at Old Trafford this season. As per Bolavip, it could be Aston Villa shot-stopper Emiliano Martinez, with the Argentine goalie a potential candidate for the Red Devils this summer.
Emi Martinez seemed visibly emotional after his final game at Villa Park this season, hinting at a potential goodbye. The World Cup winner was sent off in the final game of the season which was incidentally against Amorim’s side.
The report mentions that the Birmingham club might let him leave for a fee inbetween £30m-£34m. That is a transfer fee that Man Utd should be able to work with and it is definitely worth spending that money to bring Dibu to the club.
Emi would be a huge upgrade over Andre Onana, both in terms of quality and stature. He would add a lot of personality to the team and could emerge to be the leader that the team seems to be desperately lacking at the moment.
It remains to be seen what Man Utd does and if they actually make a move to sign Emiliano Martinez.
The 32-year-old would want to remain at the highest level ahead of the World Cup, and this seems to be a match made in heaven. Only time will tell how it plays out.
Here’s the verified update on **Emi Martínez potentially moving to Manchester United**:
