Emi Martinez appeared destined to leave Aston Villa in the summer of 2025, only to end up staying put, but could the World Cup-winning goalkeeper finally get his move 12 months on? The enigmatic Argentina international has remained an important part of Unai Emery’s plans in the West Midlands, but Emile Heskey has told GOAL why a sale is likely to be agreed in the next transfer window.

Enigmatic Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez has seen his behaviour criticised again, with supposed “arrogance” on the Argentine’s part being called out by an international goalkeeping rival. Uruguayan shot-stopper Sergio Rochet does not “like the way” a fellow South American is - despite the World Cup winner being considered “phenomenal” at his job.

Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly lining up a move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The Argentina international has been a regular at Villa Park since joining the club in 2020 and has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. However, the 33-year-old has been regularly linked with a transfer away from Villa in the past few years, especially during the most recent summer window, and now Inter are considering him as a potential replacement for current shot-stopper Yann Sommer.

Ruben Amorim's explosive exit from Manchester United was triggered by a fierce disagreement over transfer strategy, with the Portuguese coach left furious after seven key targets were blocked by the hierarchy. From World Cup winners to teenage sensations, the full list of players denied to the former boss has now been revealed following his sacking.

Emiliano Martínez was left seething over taunts from Arsenal supporters after Aston Villa suffered a 4-1 defeat at Emirates Stadium. Villa’s 11-match winning streak was emphatically ended by the Gunners, who ran out comfortable winners in Tuesday night's Premier League clash. While the result itself was damaging enough, the ugly scenes that followed in the tunnel compounded Villa's misery.
