Emiliano Martinez is open to transfer to Manchester United.

European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano told Give Me Sports in the UK on the 20th (Korea time) that Andre Onana is still a key resource for the team and is also included in the project approved by head coach Huveng Amorim. But if there is an offer that everyone will be satisfied with, Manchester United do not rule out his transfer," he reported.

He then added "Saudi Arabian clubs are still interested in Onana, which could serve as an important variable in the summer transfer market. There is no official proposal so far, but Manchester United are looking for alternative resources in preparation for any changes that may occur in the goalkeeper's position," he added.




Onana has been recruited as a replacement for David de Gea, but is performing below expectations. The stability was extremely low and the fatal mistake drove Manchester United into a hole several times. Onana's greatest strength, foot skills, are not being displayed at all at Manchester United.

Martinez, who is set to leave Aston Villa, wants to be all the rage amid talk that Onana could leave. Romano responded positively to Manchester United's interest and is open to a move to Manchester United even if he does not make it to the Champions League. He said he is ready to open a new chapter in his career."

Martinez is a proven goalkeeper in the Premier League (EPL). After going through Arsenal and Villa, he showed the best level of ability in the EPL. It was the 2022 World Cup in Qatar that Martinez became a world-class goalkeeper. In particular, Colomuani's save just before the end of extra time in the World Cup final remains a historical scene that saved Lionel Messi. Martinez is in the midst of his best years of life as he was named FIFA goalkeeper of the year in 2022 and 2024.

However, the downside of Martinez is madness. During the World Cup awards ceremony, he was on the cutting board for excessive celebration of the trophy and excessive behavior, and was also seen provoking opposing fans or harshly protesting the referee's decision several times during the game. There are also voices of concern in that such misbehavior can sometimes affect the team atmosphere.




In addition, in recent years, the performance has been declining. He is still good in the Argentine national team, but his stability is falling in the villa. Even when he clashed with Manchester United in the final match of this season, he was sent off for strange judgment and became the main culprit for ruining Villa's season.

Manchester United will not make any changes if Onana does not leave, so they will watch the situation, but Martinez conveyed his position that he could transfer to Manchester United first.
