Chelsea are considering a late move for Aston Villa and Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez as they explore options to strengthen their goalkeeping department before the transfer window closes.
Martínez’s future at Villa has become uncertain following the arrival of Zion Suzuki from Parma, with the Argentine now looking for a new club after his proposed move to Juventus collapsed. His representatives have reportedly offered him to Chelsea.
Chelsea’s interest has emerged after Robert Sánchez came under criticism for his performance against Fulham, prompting the club to consider whether additional experience is needed between the posts.
The 33-year-old Martínez is a World Cup winner with Argentina and has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most experienced goalkeepers since joining Aston Villa from Arsenal in 2020.
A potential move to Stamford Bridge could give Chelsea an experienced option in goal, while Martínez would have the opportunity to remain in the Premier League and compete for a starting position.
With the transfer window approaching its deadline, Chelsea’s interest could develop quickly if the club decides to make a formal approach for the Argentine goalkeeper.
