Real Madrid did not pay 45 million for Dibu Martínez and now karma has arrived

Emiliano Martínez is one of the best goalkeepers in the world or at least that was what FIFA said in the latest The Best after his performance in this last season in which he was a figure with the Argentine National Team in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Dibu had fundamental performances and many penalties saved against the Netherlands and France. Likewise, Aston Villa performed very well, helping them qualify for the UEFA Conference League. Because of all this, he was close to joining Real Madrid, but Merengue did not want to pay 45 million euros. Today they suffer karma.

The goalkeeper who is among the best 10 for the Lev Yashin trophy and among the 30 players (of all positions) nominated for the Ballon d'Or, was loved by many giants of Europe. Among all those that had sounded very strongly was Real Madrid due to the injury of goalkeeper Courtois. However, the Spanish club preferred to hire someone else and not put up the 45 million for the goalkeeper who is now 31 years old. At the moment it seems like a bad decision.

Dibu Martínez could have been Real Madrid's reinforcement this last season. He was also sought by other teams such as Manchester United (they preferred Onaná and it didn't work out). The concrete thing is that none of those teams came close to the 45 million that Aston Villa wanted. Likewise, the Argentine always remained grateful to the villains and said that he would not leave the team if an offer did not arrive that would work for them.

Karma came to Real Madrid through Dibu Martínez

The merengue team did not want to pay 45 million for the transfer of the world champion goalkeeper, but hired Kepa Arrizabalaga for one million, on loan. This Tuesday the Spaniard was largely responsible for Napoli's first goal in the match between these two teams in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Although Madrid won, the concrete thing is that the goalkeeper's level does not compare to that of Dibu Martínez. Karma arrived.
