BBC: Manchester United is still weighing whether to introduce Martinez or Lamens, Villa is also interested in Lamens
BBC followed up and reported that Manchester United was chasing Martinez and Lamenser before closing the window.
Influenced by Manchester United's interest, Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez's future remains uncertain. The 32-year-old goalkeeper did not make it to Villa's roster on Sunday, who lost 0-3 to Crystal Palace at home. After the game, coach Emery said in an interview with the media that the club "must solve" the current situation: "One of the issues we are discussing is the stay and stay of Martinez, but it will be clear tomorrow. We must solve this problem with him."
Aston Villa has not won a Premier League game so far this season, with 2 losses and 1 draw in the first three rounds.
When asked whether the club plans to complete a few more transfer deals before the transfer deadline, Emery said: "Of course, we need to introduce some players. I am satisfied with the current players, but the team's lineup needs to be supplemented with some strength. Some situations are not good for us at present. The transfer window will be closed tomorrow. I hope that after the window is closed, we can maintain the balance of the lineup."
Manchester United is eager to solve the problem of goalkeeper's position, considering introducing Argentine goalkeeper Martinez, and also discussing with Antwerp to introduce Ramens. The 23-year-old Belgian goalkeeper hopes to join Manchester United and has missed Antwerp's past two games. The Belgian League One club needs to repay its previous external loans through a high transfer income, and if Martinez leaves the team, Villa is also rumored to be interested in introducing Lamens.
