"Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez was close to leaving the club in the summer transfer window this year. The Argentinian goalkeeper was linked with a move to Manchester United but the Red Devils eventually signed Senne Lammens and Martinez ended up staying at Villa Park. However, his form this season has been questionable and his long term future at the club has come under scrutiny."
"According to Football Insider, Aston Villa are interested in a move for Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford. Following his move to the Etihad Stadium from Burnley in the summer, Trafford was expected to challenge Ederson for a place in the starting line up. Ederson left the club in the summer and Gianluigi Donnarumma was signed from Paris Saint-Germain, who instantly became the number one goalkeeper. That pushed Trafford down the pecking order and due to that his playing time has been affected."
Emi Martinez nearly left Aston Villa during the summer transfer window but remained after Manchester United signed Senne Lammens. Martinez has shown questionable form this season, prompting Aston Villa to seek a long-term goalkeeper replacement. James Trafford, recently transferred from Burnley to Manchester City, has struggled for playing time after Gianluigi Donnarumma became the club's number one. Manchester City remain open to a loan move to aid Trafford's development while retaining long-term faith in him. Aston Villa view Trafford as a potential long-term option, and Newcastle United has also shown interest.
