Farewell Gesture Sparks Uncertainty

Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez's situation at Aston Villa has become a hot topic in recent weeks. Since arriving from Arsenal in 2020, the Argentine goalkeeper has become a key figure in the Premier League and a national hero after helping Argentina win the 2022 World Cup. Now, with the summer transfer window open, speculation over a potential departure is gaining momentum — and Manchester United appears to be closely monitoring the situation.

During the home match against Tottenham, Martínez made a gesture to the fans that many interpreted as a farewell. While Barcelona has already moved on by signing another goalkeeper, the Red Devils are reportedly still considering a move for the 32-year-old.

Speaks Out During Argentina Camp

While on international duty with Argentina, Martínez addressed the media and offered a cautious response when asked about his future. “My future? I don’t know. I’m here to play for my national team, and that’s the only thing that matters to me right now,” he stated.

Though he didn’t confirm any plans, he acknowledged that the transfer window has only just begun: “Do I want to move to a new club? The window just opened, so there’s still a long way to go,” he added, leaving the door open for possible negotiations.

Argentina First, Then a Decision

For now, Martínez is focused on Argentina’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Colombia. Although Lionel Scaloni's side has already secured its place in the 2026 tournament, the goalkeeper is determined to stay locked in until both matches are completed.

Once his national team duties are over, the time will come to weigh his options. At 32, Martínez is at the peak of his career and could be ready to join a European powerhouse. The interest from Manchester United may soon become a real opportunity to take the next step.
