A few days ago, Inter Milan sold goalkeeper Andre Onana to Manchester United at a high price. The Italian giants are now in search of a famous goalkeeper. And the name of Emiliano Martinez, who won the World Cup for Argentina, is on top of that list.
According to football website Goal.com, in the meantime, Inter sent an offer of 15 million euros to his club Aston Villa to bring Martinez to the team. However, Villa rejected that offer. According to the English club, they do not want to leave their main goalkeeper now.
Meanwhile, Argentinian journalist Gaston Edul said that the offer sent by Inter for Emiliano was commented by the Villa authorities as ridiculous. The English club feel their bid for the World Cup-winning goalkeeper is too low.
However, the Italian club is unwilling to give up so quickly. They are expected to make a bigger bid soon. They prefer Martinez as Onana's replacement. Coach Simone Inzaghi is not satisfied with the presence of experienced goalkeeper Samir Handanovic in Inter Milan's current squad. Last time's Champions League finalist, the team is looking for a proven and young goalkeeper. And for that purpose, the Nerazzurri's focus is on Emi Martinez.
Amy Martinez is currently at English club Aston Villa. The Argentine has played a major role in taking this London club to the European spot. Last season, he kept a clean sheet in 11 matches in the league. He was also seen in the role of captain in place of regular captain John McGinn.
Emi has become much more of a goalkeeper since his arrival at Aston Villa. He left Arsenal and joined this club in 2020. After that, this Argentinian took himself to the ranks of one of the best goalkeepers in the English Premier League. He also won continental and world titles for Argentina. Holds the FIFA Goalkeeper of the Year award.
