Post: If a young replacement can be found, Villa may sell Martin this summer

May 8th The Daily Mail reported that Villa may sell goalkeeper Martin this summer.

Aston Villa plans to bring in at least one goalkeeper this summer, which could affect Martinez's future. The World Cup winner only renewed his five-year contract with the club nine months ago and joined the team's top-salary ranks.

However, the Daily Mail learned that Villa is expected to make a major lineup adjustment this summer. If coach Emery believes that he can find a young replacement with considerable abilities, he will consider selling Martinez. Like many clubs, they continue to focus on the development of 24-year-old Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia.

Substitute goalkeeper Robin Olsen will join Malmo after the end of the season, which means that the goalkeeper position will inevitably be reorganized this summer. It is worth noting that it is reported that Martinez has recently started contacting Gestifute, a subsidiary of super agent Mendes. The company's client list includes Ronaldo, Mourinho and others. Mendes has an unrivalled network in the top league.

Villa needs to complete at least one heavy sale by June 30 to comply with the Premier League's profit rules. Douglas Louis' transfer to Juventus last year allowed them to avoid the risk of deductions, and selling players is still the most effective way for the club to generate revenue.

Villa is looking for a young center to replace Duran who won the winter window in Riyadh, but the transfer plan will depend on the qualification of the Champions League.
