Dibu Martínez Offered to Chelsea, Tottenham Also Want Him The goalkeeper is no longer part of Aston Villa's plans, as the club has already signed Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki and is looking to move the Argentine on. Dibu Martínez was offered to Chelsea in recent hours and, according to reports from England, the London club is considering signing the Aston Villa goalkeeper after his proposed move to Juventus fell through. Tottenham are also interested. For now, the future of the 33-year-old from Mar del Plata is uncertain because he has been sidelined at Aston Villa, who had expected to sell him during this transfer window. The club therefore signed Zion Suzuki from Parma, while the failed move to Juventus left Martínez outside the club's budget. Journalist Gastón Edul reported on TyC Sports that once the transfer window closes, it will become known why Martínez did not join Juventus. The reason reportedly has nothing to do with football, and the revelation will further enhance his standing with the Argentina national team. Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, are therefore looking to move the Argentine on. Martínez did not even play in their Premier League opener, with Marco Bizot starting in goal. Chelsea are also looking for a goalkeeper. Robert Sánchez started against Fulham but had a performance to forget, being responsible for two goals in Chelsea's 3–2 victory under Xabi Alonso. Their other option is 21-year-old Mike Penders, who spent last season on loan at Strasbourg and made a good impression. Tottenham have Antonín Kinský, who started their 3–0 defeat to Brentford, while 37-year-old Martin Dúbravka is the backup. Martínez was crucial for Aston Villa last season, as the club finished fourth in the Premier League and won the Europa League, earning a return to the Champions League. He has been at the club since September 2020, when he arrived from Arsenal, and has made 256 appearances. This is not the first time he has been close to leaving. In the previous transfer window, he nearly joined Manchester United on loan. While recovering from his physical problems, Martínez is waiting for a resolution regarding his future. He has not played since the World Cup final, where Spain beat Argentina 1–0 and he put in an outstanding performance.   submitted by   /u/IndividualPleasant23 [link]   [comments]
