Emiliano Martinez next club odds: Man Utd favourites to land Aston Villa goalkeeper

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has been heavily linked with a move away from the club ahead of this summer’s transfer window – with the Argentine keenly followed by several potential suitors. 

Martinez’s visibly emotional reaction at the end of Villa’s final home 2024/25 Premier League outing suggests that he knows a fresh challenge is on the cards.

What appears less certain, however, is where the eccentric World Cup winner might end up. Here, you’ll catch a rundown of the UK’s best bookmaker odds for the ex-Arsenal keeper’s next destination. 

Aston Villa – 9/4 (bet365)

That bet365 are the only major bookmaker offering odds on Martinez to stick with Villa should outline that his future likely lies elsewhere. 

Yet, with four years remaining on his current contract, the club’s owners may struggle to welcome an adequate bid. Moreover, at 32 years old, certain outfits could opt to fish for younger talent. 

Nevertheless, there is some value tied to this selection – priced at 9/4 with bet365.

Man Utd – 3/1 (Ladbrokes)

Andre Onana has struggled to earn the favour of Old Trafford’s faithful since arriving in 2023. 

Consistent errors and poor statistical outlay are two driving factors behind the Cameroon international’s plight as the Red Devils’ first-choice goalkeeper. And, if recent reports are accurate, the 29-year-old’s time is up.

Emiliano Martinez has emerged as a favourite to replace Onana between the sticks at United – with reports that Ruben Amorim “made contact” with the Villa Park star-man throughout the previous campaign. Ladbrokes list this transfer at a lucrative 3/1.

Atletico Madrid – 9/2 (bet365)

While 9/2 with bet365 is the best price available for this particular outcome, it is William Hill’s (2/1) and BetVictor’s (3/1) odds that stand as the more interesting point of focus. 

Both bookmakers anticipate a departure to the Spanish capital over a Saudi Arabian switch. However, Martinez would likely need to accept a supporting role behind longstanding Slovenian stalwart, Jan Oblak. 

But, never one to turn down an exciting battle – Villa’s number 23 might relish the opportunity to go head-to-head with one of Europe’s most imposing goalkeepers. 

Any Saudi Arabian team – 7/1 (bet365)

Deep investment from Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund has allowed four of the country’s clubs - Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli - to cough up significant transfer fees and meet mighty player demands. 

Prior to the end of last season, many expected one of Saudi Arabia’s four government-backed sides to land Martinez. Such a move has not yet materialised – and the odds of a Middle Eastern exploit have lengthened up to bet365’s 7/1.

Barcelona – 11/1 (bet365)

An injury-stricken Marc-Andre ter Stegen was forced to watch much of Barcelona’s title-winning season from the stands in 2024/25, as former Arsenal and Poland goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczesny, took the reins. 

Szczesny, who came out of retirement to fill in for ter Stegen, has thus far refused to commit another season to the Catalan club.

At 4/1 with William Hill, Ladbrokes, BetVictor, and Coral, Emiliano Martinez is one to watch as this saga continues. On the other end of the scale are bet365, pricing this transfer at 11/1.
