Inter Milan steps up their attempts to acquire Emiliano Martinez of Aston Villa to take Andre Onana’s place, but they will have to fight hard to do so.
WHAT HAPPENED: Martinez from Aston Villa is a target for Inter Milan, who are looking to replace Andre Onana, who recently joined Manchester United. However, Villa rejected the Italian club’s initial offer of €15 million. Martinez has been a vital member of the squad since joining Villa Park from Arsenal thanks to his incredible performances. He has established himself as one of the Premier League’s best goalkeepers and helped Argentina win the World Cup.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: During this summer’s transfer window, numerous teams have shown interest in Martinez because to his impressive tenure at Aston Villa. The fact that Villa turned down the €15 million offer suggests that they are unwilling to let go of their highly valued goalie. If Inter hopes to persuade Villa to sell, they could have to up their offer considerably.
WHAT’S NEXT: Martinez is currently in America with Aston Villa for their preseason tour, and he is anticipated to start the match against Fulham. The situation is still fluid as Inter Milan is allegedly preparing a larger bid for the goalie. Martinez’s future with the club and whether or not he decides to join Inter Milan in Italy will be determined by Villa’s position.
