Martin chooses one of three: Villa priced at 35 million pounds, Saudi Arabia s high salary may not realize its dream

August 1: Aston Villa goalkeeper Damian Martinez's summer window has not yet been settled. Argentina TyC Sports revealed today that the club has received three official offers, although the World Cup champion continued to start and win a clean sheet in Villa's friendly against Brentford last week. Villa insists on a psychological price of £35 million, which Manchester United has been closest to this figure, but after negotiations stagnate, he turned to Paris goalkeeper Donaluma, which disrupted the transfer rhythm of Martin. In addition to Manchester United, a Saudi Arabian club with strong financial resources has offered a very attractive contract, but Martinez tends to stay in the top European league to continue his competitive ambitions, so the Saudi plan is seen as the least likely to happen. Meanwhile, two European powerhouses, which have not yet been named, also submitted offers, one close to the Villa asking price and the other containing floating bonus terms. Villa management is evaluating whether to release it, and has locked in two candidates for substitute goalkeepers, one of whom is a veteran in La Liga and the other is a potential English local star. No matter who will eventually fall, Martin's future will be announced in the next two weeks, and Villa must also complete the pot replenishment work of the doorkeeper's position before closing the window on August 30.
