Former Chelsea star and French team, Emmanuel Petit, urged Chelsea to recruit goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, Manchester United's goal, from Aston Villa this summer.
Man United is rumored to recruit the Argentine goalkeeper who won the World Cup since the beginning of the transfer period, and their borrowed offer was even rejected by the Aston Villa team. However, Martinez may be allowed to leave for about 40 million pounds.
Chelsea is also on the list of clubs interested in Martinez early summer after the number one goalkeeper Robert Sanchez faced many criticisms in the 2024/25 season. Now, the former star of the Blues, Petit, has urged the West London team to pursue the Argentine goalkeeper.
In an interview with EscapistMagazine, Petit said: “Emil Martinez will be the inspiration for Chelsea dressing room. I have criticized his behavior, but he knows what is needed to win the title. He has experience. Emil can inspire other players and own all the necessary qualities of a top goalkeeper. For a goalkeeper “.
“I think he will connect well with Enzo Maresca and the current players of the club. One of my worries is about Aston Villa, I am worried about the top players who will leave the club this summer. I'm not sure how it will affect them in the next season,” the former French star added.
After Aston Villa refused to ask for Martinez's borrowed Martinez, it was reported that the Argentine goalkeeper also received great attention from the Saudi Pro League teams. However, the Argentine player is said to not want to break up with European football just a year before he and his teammates defend the title of World Cup championship in North America.
Currently, Chelsea focuses on liquidating the players who are no longer in the plan after spending strongly for the rookies in the summer transfer period. The Blues has listed 15 players will be liquidated, including stars like Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell.
