Manchester United decided not to proceed with the signing of Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa in the final hours of the summer transfer window.
United had an agreement with Martinez since the beginning of the summer, but negotiations stalled. They resumed in the final hours, with the two sides reaching an agreement on all personal terms.
Ultimately, United decided to pursue another option, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Manchester United will sign Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp in a deal estimated at €21 million.
Lammens was United’s top target throughout August, but reaching an agreement with his club proved extremely difficult. Ultimately, the Red Devils got their way, prompting them to inform Emiliano Martinez that he would not be joining Old Trafford.
According to Romano, Martinez is currently looking for another club and does not want to continue with Aston Villa. Indeed, his name has been mentioned at Galatasaray following Ederson’s move from Manchester City to Fenerbahce.
