Martin will say goodbye to Villa! Manchester United and Barcelona grab players, and Rashford becomes a bargaining chip?

According to Argentine media DSPORTS, Villa goalkeeper Martin has received offers from Manchester United and Barcelona, ​​and leaving the team seems to be a foregone conclusion. Martin is optimistic about joining Manchester United, which also gives Manchester United hope to introduce him. Interestingly, since Manchester United and Villa have a good relationship, Manchester United even considers using Rashford to exchange for Big Martin. However, this deal still requires Rashford's own consent. After joining Villa from Arsenal for 17.4 million euros in the summer window of 2020, Martinez gradually grew into the team's defensive pillar. This season, he played 52 games for Villa. Although he conceded 61 goals, he also scored 15 clean sheets. Currently, the price of Germans is 25 million euros.

Looking at Barcelona again, he also extended an olive branch to Martin. For Martin, joining Barcelona means stepping onto the largest stage in Europe and continuing to pursue league championships and Champions League honors, which is extremely attractive to any top player. Moreover, Barcelona has the support of many Argentine fans and the team's strong Argentine descent, which can also allow Martin to gain more emotional identity and sense of belonging.

Manchester United has always had hidden worries in the goalkeeper position, and Onana's performance failed to meet expectations, which made the team urgently need a reliable goalkeeper to take over. Martin's rich Premier League experience and excellent goal line skills are undoubtedly what Manchester United values. Although he is 32 years old, Martin's competitive state has not declined at all. In the past three seasons, he has averaged 14 clean sheets a year, and his save success rate is stable at more than 78%. Such performance is completely worthy of the identity of the main goalkeeper of the giants. For Martin himself, this is undoubtedly a difficult choice. By joining Manchester United, he can continue to stay in the Premier League and maintain familiarity with the league.

Villa still hopes to get Rashford. He performed well during his loan period on Villa this season, contributing 4 goals and 6 assists in 17 games. His ability to break through the wing and smell in front of the goal are highly appreciated by Emery. However, there are certain obstacles in this deal. Rashford himself is determined to join Barcelona and even cuts his salary to promote the transfer. Manchester United's demand for a price of 40 million euros may also discourage Barcelona from being dismissed.
