The curtain may be slowly descending on Emiliano Martínez’s remarkable Aston Villa journey. From Arsenal’s fringe loanee to World Cup-winning lynchpin and two-time FIFA Best Goalkeeper, the Argentine has transformed his career in claret and blue. But with reported offers from European powerhouses Manchester United and Barcelona, the winds of change appear to be circling once more.
According to DSports, the 32-year-old has received formal approaches from both clubs. In a further twist, he was reportedly reduced to tears after Villa’s 2-0 win over Tottenham — a gesture that now feels less like celebration and more like a silent farewell.
