The club have intensified their efforts to sign the Aston Villa goalkeeper this summer. Initially, reports from Argentina suggested Martinez had a &pound;21.6 million release clause in his contract.<\/p><p>That would have paved the way for a swift transfer. However, according to the Daily Mail, no such clause exists. As a result, United will now need to negotiate directly with Villa, who are reportedly valuing the Argentina international at around &pound;40 million.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680; Manchester United have set their sights on Emiliano Mart&iacute;nez, who is valued by Aston Villa at &pound;40M.<br><br>United are hoping to do a deal for closer to &pound;33M.<br><br>(Source: La Naci&oacute;n) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bURX6viYd3\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/bURX6viYd3<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DeadlineDayLive\/status\/1946309501381919044?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 18, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Martinez, who moved to Villa Park from Arsenal in 2020, has become one of the Premier League&rsquo;s standout goalkeepers. The 32-year-old has made over 200 appearances for Villa, keeping 70 clean sheets. His accolades include winning the FIFA Best Men&rsquo;s Goalkeeper award in both 2022 and 2024.<\/p><p>He also contributed hugely on Argentina&rsquo;s World Cup and two Copa Americas title wins. While United are said to have readied a &pound;33 million bid, Villa are under no pressure to sell and could hold out for their full asking price.
