Are targeting a move to Fenerbahçe Aston Villa This summer through goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, presidential candidate Aziz Yildirim.
fan report that Yildirim have once again set their sights on the Aston Villa goalkeeper after speaking to him ahead of the 2024 campaign.
President wants to make Aston Villa a star again
According to the outlet, Yildirim 'has once again set his sights on the goalkeeper.' He is targeting the Argentina star if he can't get a deal for Jan Oblak over the line.
All eyes in Fenerbahçe are currently on the extraordinary general assembly elections. Yildirim is running for president again and has turned his attention to Aston Villa number one.
He held talks with Martínez ahead of the 2024 elections, in which he lost to Ali Koç. The transfer broke down when he failed to win the election.
Now they plan to sign a star goalkeeper this summer. The main target is Jan Oblak, but Emiliano Martínez is also on the list. According to Takweem, work has started for both the goalkeepers.
Although the Argentine has a three-year contract with Aston Villa, there is a possibility he will leave Villa Park this summer. Interestingly, another presidential candidate, Hakan Saffi, wants to sign AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
transfer target
It seems that various presidential candidates have Europe's biggest names as part of their current campaigns. It remains to be seen whether this will lead to real action.
As The Fanatic points out, Yildirim tried to get Emiliano Martínez from Aston Villa just two years ago. That move ultimately failed when his presidential campaign also failed.
Even if he is successful, it will be no easy task to get Martínez out of Villa Park. He is set for a long-term deal, is a key player under Unai Emery and they could potentially be back in the Champions League next season. There is no reason for the Villans to let him go, unless, of course, Fenerbahçe comes forward with a big transfer fee.
