Emiliano Martínez

Recent reports from August 2026 state a deal was agreed for a transfer to Chelsea for a fee of approximately €8.8 million (£7.5m). In the same month, talks with Juventus reportedly collapsed; Aston Villa demanded €15 million but were also said to be willing to accept a guaranteed €10 million, while Juventus offered packages up to €10 million with add-ons. Throughout 2025 and early 2026, Aston Villa's asking price was consistently reported at a much higher £40 million (~€47 million) amid interest from Manchester United and Inter. In September 2025, Galatasaray was linked with a €25 million offer. An older rumour from June 2025 suggested Chelsea was willing to pay £45 million (~€53 million). His Transfermarkt value was reported as €15 million in May 2026, down from €25 million a year prior.

Our valuation is driven by the widely reported and agreed transfer for Emiliano Martínez to Chelsea in August 2026 for a fee of approximately €8.8 million. This figure is corroborated by multiple sources. The upper end of our range is informed by Aston Villa's reported asking price of €10-15 million during collapsed negotiations with Juventus in the same month. The significant decrease from much higher valuations of €35-50 million in 2025 reflects the player's age, his public desire to leave, and Aston Villa having already signed his replacement.
