Martinez s future is doubtful, and the legendary celebrity suggests Villa to sign a plan B

Aston Villa will have a backup plan in case main goalkeeper Amy Martinez leaves the team this summer.

Former Aston Villa forward Emil Husky believes that if the team's Argentine goalkeeper Emmy Martinez leaves the team this summer, then Aaron Ramsdale will be a strong alternative.

Martinez is undoubtedly the focus of Villa's transfer window this summer, and he is considering opening a new chapter in his career.

Just 10 months ago, Martinez had just signed a new long-term contract with the club to entrust his future to the team. However, his future is now becoming uncertain.

After the team failed to qualify for the Champions League next season, Villa may be inclined to sell the goalkeeper, who is now 32 (will turn 33 later this year) in exchange for funds.

In addition, the club's sports director Monkey is also facing the challenge of reducing the total salary for the team and reducing the average age of the lineup this summer.

It is reported that Manchester United is very interested in Martinez, but whether this deal can be achieved will depend on whether the current Red Devils goalkeeper Onana will leave the team. And the Cameroon international is believed to have had a great time at Old Trafford and is eager to prove himself next season.

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid may also consider introducing Martinez, provided they can find the next home for current main player Jan Oblak. In addition, the Turkish Super League giant Galatasaray has also been mentioned as a potential destination.

Former Premier League striker Husky believes that once Martinez leaves the team, Villa should view Ramsdale as a viable alternative.

"Whether it's a loss to Manchester United or any other club, losing Emmy Martinez will be a heavy blow for Villa," Husky said in an interview with VBET.

"But I personally have always been a 'fan' of Aaron Ramsdale. He is an excellent goalkeeper, but what impressed me even more is his outstanding ball control and ball-taking ability under his feet. I think it would be a great deal if Villa can sign him this summer."

"Of course, he has had several relegation experiences with the team in his resume, but I don't think it will affect his quality as an excellent goalkeeper. At the age of 27, he still has many bright years in the future as a goalkeeper."
