Chelsea in contact over move for Villa goalkeeper Martinez
BBC Sport reports that Chelsea are considering a transfer move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The interest comes after Chelsea made contact with the Argentina international’s representatives.
Martinez, aged 33, is seen as available for a potential transfer from Villa, partly due to their recent signing of Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki from Parma for £30m. This could foster another opportunity for the two clubs to do business, given their previous interactions in transfers like Morgan Rogers and Alejandro Garnacho.
The story highlights a close relationship between the clubs, also noted in deals like the "PSR swap" involving Ian Maatsen and Omari Kellyman. Additionally, concerns have been raised about Chelsea‘s goalkeeper Robert Sanchez‘s performances, potentially paving the way for Martinez’s arrival.
