Galatasaray ready €27m double bid for Emi Martinez and Lucas Digne as Turkish champions look to beat Atletico Madrid to goalkeeper's signing

<p>According to Foot Mercato, the Turkish champions have already been in talks with Villa, as they look to strengthen their defence and goalkeeping. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid have also shown interest in both Aston Villa players as they look to strengthen their squad after a trophy-less season. But Galatasaray are keen to beat them to his signature . </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Emi Martínez appears to be nearing the end of a successful spell at Aston Villa. The World Cup-winning goalkeeper <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/emi-martinez-goodbye-aston-villa-waves-tearful-farewell--fans-tottenham-win-unai-emery-future-update/blt85a11ca68b464732" target="_blank">gave an emotional farewell to fans</a> after Villa’s final Premier League match, strongly hinting at an exit. Despite signing a lucrative £7.5 million-a-year contract extension just last summer, Martinez has attracted interest from several top clubs. Alongside Saudi clubs, Manchester United, who are reportedly looking to move on from Andre Onana after a difficult season, are also keeping a close eye on the Argentine. </p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid are in desperate need of a quality goalie after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/joan-garcia-transfer-saga-barcelona-schedule-announcement-marc-andre-ter-stegen-galatasaray-talks/blt379acfb8a7f2dfed">losing Joan Garcia to Barcelona</a>. However, they may hesitate to meet Aston Villa’s asking price. This opens the door for Galatasaray, who are ready to make a bold move and outbid their European rivals.</p><p>Meanwhile, Digne has just one year left on his Villa contract and could be a more affordable target for Diego Simone. However, Galatasaray are plotting to swoop for the Frenchman as well. </p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>With Martinez under contract at Villa until 2029, few clubs can afford to meet his asking price. Yet Galatasaray seem determined to bring the Argentine to Istanbul. Meanwhile, Villa, who are reportedly under pressure to offload a player before June 30 to comply with the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), could be tempted to accept the first serious offer that comes their way. </p>
