Where to go for the goal god? 45 million pounds! Blues raid Manchester United prey

Just a few weeks ago, when Emiliano Martinez raised his arms high in Villa Park, saying goodbye to the loyal stands with tears in his eyes, everyone thought that the next script for the two-time Yassin Award winner had been written. After five years, from the quagmire of relegation to entering the Champions League (fourth in the Premier League in 2023/24), he is Villa's patron saint to return to the top of Europe. But who would have thought that the dazzling red card (destroyed Hoylen) in the curtain call against Manchester United turned out to be a bitter black footnote in His Villa's career - the team lost 0-2 to Old Trafford, and their Champions League qualification dream was shattered.

According to the latest disclosure by the authoritative media "Daily Mirror" on June 29, 2025, Villa had to bear the pain of cashing out the core in order to balance the Premier League's "profit and sustainability rules" (PSR)! Price list? £45 million! Chelsea made a quick move and has been officially approved for negotiations at this price! The ambitions of the new Blues coach Maresca are obvious - even with Robert Sanchez and new player Philip Jorgensen, he still wants the World Cup champion goalkeeper to sit at Stamford Bridge!

However, the plot took a sharp turn! The tip revealed that Martinez himself "has more eager to put on Manchester United's shirt"! On the tactical board of the new Red Devils coach Ruben Amorin, the goalkeeper said "not selling" - unless Manchester United can sell Andre Onana for more than £35 million! This "triangle debt" instantly made the transfer market turbulent!

Chelsea is not completely unlucky! Key figures surfaced - Blues assistant coach Willie Caballero! This former Argentine national goalkeeper is Martinez's big brother and close friend in the national team. According to insiders, Caballero is using his personal relationship to lobby with all his strength, trying to use the combination of "London + compatriots" to soften Martinez's "Manchester United Dream".

Vera's management is not idle! Real Antwerp's 21-year-old talented goalkeeper Senne Lamens has been locked as the number one replacement! Ironically, this Belgian star is also closely watched by Manchester United scouts! What's more exciting is that Newcastle United suddenly joined the battle - they are attacking Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, while Leeds United are waiting for an opportunity to spy on the movements of the Magpies' main player Nick Pope! A change of ownership will affect the semi-league!

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano urgently updated his update today: "Chelsea's chances are real, but Martinez's first choice is still Manchester United. Is the Red Devils' goal open? It depends entirely on whether Onana leaves the team!" If the Cameroonian goalkeeper stays at Old Trafford, Martinez will be forced to face Chelsea's invitation; and if the Blues want to succeed, they also need to clean up one of Sanchez or Jorgensen.

The gears of the summer window have turned wildly! Martinez's tears, Amorin's abacus, Caballero's favor, Lamens' potential, Onana's future... countless clues are intertwined, and the answers may be hidden in the next sudden quotation.
