Emiliano Martinez may head for Aston Villa exit door after Lucas Chevalier transfer initiative

Emiliano Martinez could finally see his Aston Villa career possibly come to an end in the upcoming transfer window.

Since the Argentina international's move to the B6 club in 2020, he has been an incredible addition to the Villans' squad, playing a crucial role in their recent Europa League triumph.

The 33-year-old has proven his doubters at Arsenal wrong after some strong performances over the years and will have another opportunity to solidify his credentials as one of the best at the 2026 World Cup.

Martinez seemed to be on his way out of Villa Park last summer, but that may now become reality amid reported interest in Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from Unai Emery's team.

Despite Martinez's heroics for the Lions, many fans feel it may be the right time to move on from the Argentine shot-stopper and invest in the squad's future.

Aston Villa take steps for Lucas Chevalier signing

Villa were among the first clubs to court Chevalier, as the French goalkeeper has attracted attention from several clubs.

That's what Media Foot claimed on 6 June, with Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur also being linked with the PSG shot-stopper.

For the Ligue 1 outfit, everything is said to depend on the possible offers for the 24-year-old they signed from LOSC Lille for around £35million just a year back.

Chevalier replaced Gianluigi Donnarumma in Luis Enrique's plans but lost his place in the starting lineup to Matvey Safonov midway through the 2025-26 campaign.

Unai Emery has clear transfer priority at Villa Park

Sources told Football Insider in March that Villa would struggle to keep Morgan Rogers if they failed to qualify for the Champions League.

Not only did the Lions finish fourth in the Premier League, but they also won the Europa League after an emphatic victory against Freiburg in the final.

While the Villans will surely believe they have the financial capabilities to keep Rogers around, it remains to be seen whether the England international's ambitions of playing for a European heavyweight will come in the way.

Emery will certainly be desperate to keep hold of the 23-year-old at Villa Park as the B6 club look to build on their success.
