Emiliano Martinez extends his stay with Aston Villa

Aston Villa has extended its contract with Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, the English club announced on social media. Since joining the club in 2020, the goalkeeper has become fundamental to the Birmingham outfit’s rise up the Premier League table. Thanks to Martinez, Villa has won multiple points due to his magnificent stops between the sticks.

The Argentine completed one of his biggest objectives at the club last season as they finished fourth in the table and subsequently qualified for the Champions League. Now, after a fantastic summer where he won his second Copa America title, Martinez has committed his long-term future to Villa, signing a contract until 2029.

Aston Villa fans were delighted to see the news this afternoon that one of the world’s best goalkeepers has committed to his long-term future with Aston Villa after signing a new contract until 2029.

Having proven himself as one of, if not THE, best goalkeepers in the world, there have been rumors linking him with a move away to the likes of Manchester City. However, Martinez has put those rumors to bed by reaffirming his love for the club.

Emiliano Martinez expressed his love for the club

"When I started playing here, I fell in love with the club and the fans. My kids were born here, and you need to be where you are happy. Certainly, I'm happy here." - Emi Martinez.

Martinez has previously spoken of his dream to play with Aston Villa in the Champions League, which is soon going to become a reality. He also spoke of his desire to win a trophy with the club, and he, as well as the players, staff, and fans, will be hoping that becomes a reality in the not-too-distant future. Often referred to as Dibu, he will be hoping to again get the better of his former team this weekend as Villa hosts Arsenal in their first home game of the new season.
