Manchester United are keen on signing the Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez during the summer transfer window.Aston Villa have now been urged to demand £80 million for the goalkeeper if Manchester United come calling. Martinez has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia as well.“If I were Villa, I’d be telling United to pay £80m upfront,” Bryan King said to Villa News.“He (Martinez) is regarded as one of the top three ‘keepers in the Premier League, if not the world.“I wouldn’t be entertaining a loan if I were Villa, and I certainly wouldn’t want it if I were the player.“I’d be thinking if you want me that badly, then you pay the money. Because if he does move, then he would be on massive money.“Why would Villa want to sell him? Or even think about loaning him out? They haven’t got strength in depth beneath him, so why would you want to get rid of one of your top players?“It doesn’t make sense.”Manchester United could use Emiliano MartinezThere is no doubt that the 32-year-old is a top-quality player, and he is certainly one of the best in his position in the world. However, £80 million would be an absurd demand for the goalkeeper, and it is highly unlikely that Manchester United will pay up.They need to bring in a quality goalkeeper this summer after the error-prone performances from Andre Onana last season. The Cameroon International cost his team valuable points with his performances, and he needs to be replaced. Martinez would be a tremendous addition, and he would be an upgrade on Onana.More Stories / Latest NewsReport: Crystal Palace closing in on 23-G/A forward wanted by Premier League rivalsJul 27 2025, 20:24Club urged to demand £80 million for Manchester United targetJul 27 2025, 20:16Report: Newcastle looking to sign 24-year-old star after failing to land WissaJul 27 2025, 20:07Man United move could be ideal for the playerEmiliano Martinez in action for Aston Villa (Photo by Julian Finney/Getty Images)The opportunity to join Manchester United will be quite exciting for the goalkeeper as well.
