WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Per journalist <a href="https://x.com/gastonedul/status/1923501033231188416" target="_blank"><em>Gaston Edul</em></a>, the Argentine custodian is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/emi-martinez-future-doubt-aston-villa-transfer-swoop-real-madrid-goalkeeper-replace-argentina-international/bltd2fa6c4ebcc06fbb" target="_blank">all set to leave the Villans</a> at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. He has offers from two top European clubs, while a Saudi Pro League side also want the goalkeeper. The 32-year-old, however, is likely to reject the Saudi offer to stay at the highest level in Europe to prepare for the 2026 World Cup in North America.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After the game, Villa boss Emery provided an update on the goalkeeper's future as he told reporters: "We will see. Of course, it is the last match here [this season], and I don't know. We will see about the team, the players, but of course, they are responding on the field."</p>

WHAT UNAI EMERY SAID

<p>Emery's side will play their final game of the season on May 25 against Manchester United at Old Trafford. It could well be Martinez's last game for the club.</p>
