Manchester United Start Contact Emiliano Martinez, Transfer Communication is ongoing

Gilabola.com – Manchester United reportedly had begun conversation with goalkeeper Aston Villa, Emiliano Martinez. This news emerged after Andre Onana’s performance was unsatisfactory throughout last season making management consider new options for the position of the main goalkeeper.

According to reports from Argentina ESPN, The Manchester club has made an initial contact to open the opportunity for the transfer of the Argentine national team goalkeeper.

Journalist Leo Paradizo stated that Martinez was known to be very interested in the possibility of joining Old Trafford. In his report, he revealed that of all the options available to the goalkeeper, Manchester United became the most interested choice.

Paradizo added that communication between the two clubs had taken place, although the transfer process was expected to take place quickly considering many things that must be negotiated first.

The arrival of Martinez is believed to be able to provide stability in the goalkeeper sector, a position that is considered quite problematic for Manchester United in the last English League season.

Although Onana remains the first choice because of the lack of competitors, its performance is often criticized for some important mistakes in big matches. Martinez, which has been proven in the Premier League and brought Argentina to win the World Cup, is considered an ideal candidate to bring change.

Hugo Ekitice became an alternative after failing to get gyokeres

On the other hand, Manchester United are also considering new options on the front lines after failing to recruit Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish striker reportedly prefers to join Arsenal rather than receive an offer from Old Trafford.

Gyokeres had previously held an initial talks with United, but in the end expressed his interest in joining other Premier League rivals.

This failure made the club management distract to striker Eintracht Frankfurt, Hugo Ekitice. According to British media reports, Ruben Amorim’s club increased their interest in the Frenchman.

With the age of 22 years and the great potential it has, Ekitice is considered suitable to strengthen the attack line of the team that is in need of more productivity in front of the goal.

Ekitice itself reportedly attracted the interest of a number of other big clubs such as Chelsea and Liverpool. Frankfurt as the owner’s club is said to install a tag of around Rp 1.9 trillion, which places this transfer in a large range.

However, United need to be careful not to repeat past mistakes when they often spend large funds for players who do not necessarily have a significant impact.
