Despite Manchester United's interest, Emiliano Martinez has set his sights on a move to Atletico Madrid to join fellow Argentines like Diego Simeone and Julian Alvarez. Aston Villa are prepared to sell but under no pressure, hence they expect a fee around £40m.

Emiliano Martínez, the Argentine goalkeeper from Aston Villa, has expressed his desire to join Atlético de Madrid this summer, as reported by 'Football Insider' in England. Martínez prioritizes Atlético over other offers, including one from Manchester United. Aston Villa needs to make sales to comply with financial regulations before June 30, and Martínez is considered the most likely to leave due to his high market value and interest from several clubs. The transfer would require Atlético to make room by potentially letting Jan Oblak leave.

Atletico Madrid is one of the clubs credited with concrete interest in signing Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa. However, the player is prioritizing a move to Manchester United.

Emiliano Martínez, at the age of 32, is drawing attention from major clubs, notably Atlético de Madrid. According to AS, reports from Argentina have confirmed that Atlético de Madrid has shown interest in the World Cup-winning goalkeeper. Such a transfer would probably require the departure of Jan Oblak, who is also 32 and has a contract lasting until 2028, suggesting a possible reorganization in Atlético's goalkeeping lineup. Martínez recently participated in what is expected to be his final game at Villa Park, showing emotion as he said goodbye to the fans, which strongly hints at a forthcoming move. Despite Martínez extending his contract until 2029 at the start of the season, Aston Villa is reportedly looking to recruit a new player for his position.
