Aston Villa was reportedly given a green light to sign a shotstopper in the Premier League as Emiliano Martinez appears to have said tearful farewell to Villa Park last week.
Goalkeeper search continues for Aston Villa
All signs point to the end after Aston Villa and Martinez were portrayed as saying emotional farewells to home fans after their last victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Unai Emery also failed to rule out goalkeepers who only add to the belief that goalkeepers will play his football elsewhere next season.
The villa boss told reporters: “We’ll see. Of course it’s here (this season) here (this season) and I don’t know. We’ll see about the team, the players, but of course they’re responding on the field.”
Rumors have been circulating since that potential goodbye. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are already linked to Martinez’s move, but Villa himself has turned to a No. 1 replacement.
Names such as Lucas Chevalier have already been mentioned as certainly a great move for both Losc Lille Star and Villa Park. One of the most promising young goalkeepers, the big question is whether the villain can win the race for his signature.
Meanwhile, Espanyol’s Joan Garcia is also the name that has been in the headlines recently. A talented goalkeeper like Chevalier is fantastic this season and is one of the few options that can be seamlessly replaced by Midland’s Martinez.
But amidst the competition for both of these players, Villa may still resort to options much closer to their home, amid reports that she received a huge boost to pursue a Premier League-winning goalkeeper before the summer window.
Aston Villa receives a green light to sign Kelleher
According to a soccer insider, Aston Villa is currently being given a green light to sign Khaoimhin Kelehar by his current club, Liverpool. The Reds have Giorgi Mamaldashvili on the way, and Alison Becker has already called out. This means that the door has opened for Kelleher to depart.
Already considered high on the Villa target list, the Irishman often stepped up in Allison amid his injury issues, leaving Merseyside, who had stepped up in Allison’s place of appearances in many Wembley finals, leaving the cult hero somewhat of a Merseyside, who had stepped up in Allison’s place every time he was given the opportunity to appear in many Wembley finals.
But he is now ready to become an uncontroversial No. 1, and the latest claims suggest that Liverpool will “accept the right offer.”

By comparison, it is clear that Liverpool men are not a serious downgrade to Martinez. In fact, at age 26, there is a debate that if Kelleher pushes from here in the coming years, he could still be better than the Argentine shot stopper.
