Saudi football is once again shaking up the transfer market, and this time, they have set their sights on one of the most coveted goalkeepers in the Premier League: Emiliano "Dibu" Martinez. The Saudi league is determined to bring in high-profile names to strengthen its ambitious project, and the Argentine goalkeeper from Aston Villa is among their top targets to enhance the competition.
In Birmingham, they are aware that an offer from Saudi Arabia could be impossible to reject, which has prompted the club’s sporting director, Monchi, to activate the contingency plan. Joan Garcia is the chosen one to take over the role should Martinez leave.
The possibility of Martinez moving to Saudi Arabia has caused a stir both at Aston Villa and in the Premier League, where his performances have been highly praised. However, it remains to be seen whether the Argentine goalkeeper will decide to make a move or continue guarding the Aston Villa goal, which, although offering stability, may not match the lucrative figures offered by the Saudi league.
A potential move to Saudi Arabia would mark a new chapter in Martinez’s career, following the trend of several footballers who have chosen to join the league in recent years, seeking not only a football challenge but also a significant financial boost. Meanwhile, in Birmingham, the club is already preparing for any eventuality and is pinning their hopes on Joan Garcia as the potential replacement.
