Following the signing of Japanese international goalkeeper Zion Suzuki from Parma, two-time Yashin Trophy winner Emiliano Martinez looks set to exit Villa Park.
Joining the Villans under Dean Smith in 2020, Martinez has had a whirlwind six years with the club, which has coincided with his rise to prominence in world football.
Through his exceptional shot-stopping and evolution into a ball-playing goalkeeper, 'Dibu' has earned legend status at Villa Park and is widely seen as the club's best goalkeeper of the modern era.
However, with Martinez turning 34 in September, Aston Villa have started planning for life after their World Cup-winning goalkeeper, especially considering that the Argentine has been looking for an exit for the best part of 18 months.
Martinez had been linked to Juventus, but the Italian giants opted to sign Tottenham Hotspur's Guglielmo Vicario on loan instead, leaving Martinez in limbo.
Emiliano Martinez Next Club Odds
(Odds will display when market is available).
Despite his omission from Villa's season opening defeat to Brighton, the Midlands club head the betting to retain Martinez with a week of the window remaining.
Tottenham are interestingly the shortest price to secure Martinez's signature and an underwhelming performance from Antonin Kinsky against Brentford may heighten those rumours.
The market then features a clutch of clubs at a double figure price, including Chelsea, who may benefit from acquiring a goalkeeper of Martinez's calibre.
