JAKARTA - Emiliano Martinez's brilliant performance with the Argentine national team at the 2022 World Cup has attracted a number of clubs. The Aston Villa player has reportedly stolen the attention of Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich.
According to Sky Sports, Bayern are interested in signing Martinez after their number one goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, was injured while skiing so he couldn't play until the rest of the season was over.
The new goalkeeper is a priority for the Bundesliga giant but Villa doesn't seem to be leaving any of their valuable assets alone.
Apart from Martinez, Yassine Bounou of the Morocco national team, is also on Bayern's radar. Just like Martinez, Bounou also impressed in Qatar.
Martinez could have been said to be better than Bounou for being awarded the Golden Glove as the best goalkeeper of the 2022 World Cup. He made three clean sheets during the 2022 World Cup.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper made an important save in extra time in the final before parrying a French penalty in a penalty shootout.
The Argentine has played for Villa since 2020 and is their first-choice goalkeeper to make 15 appearances this season before the World Cup break.
Martinez is estimated to be worth 22 million pounds (Rp415 billion) and is expected to rise because of the success of the 2022 World Cup, as reported by Antara.
