Bye Bye De Gea, Manchester United's final decision on signing Dibu Martinez

Manchester United confirmed today the departure of David De Gea from the club. The English team will not renew the player nor is in negotiations to re-sign him and he leaves as a free agent after many years at Old Trafford. Now, the club has already decided to sign his possible heir as Dibu Martinez for the following season.

Emiliano Martinez had the best season of his life. The goalkeeper from Mar del Plata was one of the undisputed figures of the Argentine National Team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, so much so that he won the award for best goalkeeper of the tournament. Some time later, that brilliant performance earned him The Best award as the most outstanding in his position and then he put the finishing touch with the qualification of Aston Villa to the UEFA Conference League.

All this made him an attractive target for clubs in the Premier League's Big Six. In fact, clubs like Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United initiated contacts prior to the start of the transfer window, but now only one of the three is still in the running. The first to drop out were Spurs and now the Red Devils have done so.

Which English team is looking to sign Dibu Martínez?

In this scenario, Chelsea is the big favorite. The Blues are the best positioned to take the goalkeeper from Mar del Plata, although we will have to see what is the final decision of Dibu, since the Londoners will not play any international competition in the next season. Will he stay at Aston Villa or sign for Chelsea with the mission of qualifying again to the Champions League?
