Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez could be facing one of the last chapters of his time at Aston Villa. According to reports in recent hours, the Argentine national team goalkeeper has been offered to Chelsea.
The situation for the player from Mar del Plata has become uncertain due to the moves made by the Villains in this transfer market. The Birmingham team has signed Japanese Zion Suzuki from Parma, intending for him to become their starting goalkeeper. Additionally, Marco Bizot was the one who occupied the goal in the Premier League debut, a sign that Martínez, who has not played since his return from the 2026 World Cup and has been training separately in recent days while defining his future, is no longer among the main options.
In this context, Chelsea now appears as a concrete possibility. The Stamford Bridge team started the season with Robert Sánchez as the starter in the 3-2 victory over Fulham, but the Spanish goalkeeper was criticized for his involvement in the two goals conceded. The other alternative in the squad is Mike Penders, 21 years old, who returned after his loan at Racing Strasbourg. Given this scenario, the team managed by Xabi Alonso is considering strengthening the position and Dibu has emerged as a high-profile option.
