Rúben Amorim picks Man United target, Porto left in the lurch | OneFootball

As the hours pass on this last day of the transfer market, Manchester United continues its pursuit of signing a new goalkeeper. According to the press, Rúben Amorim has already informed the club's management that the target he wants to see arrive is Emi Martínez.

According to the British press, the agreement between the two clubs is close to happening. The Argentine's move to Old Trafford gained even more momentum after the player was left out of Aston Villa's squad for the match against Crystal Palace, which took place yesterday.

It seems that the World Cup champion with Argentina has already told the Birmingham team's officials that he wants to leave the club and head to Manchester United. This position is reinforced by Fabrizio Romano, who, through his account on the social network X, reveals that the compatriot of Nicolás Otamendi already has a preliminary agreement with the Red Devils.

The same source that reveals the two parties are close to finalizing the transfer agreement states that, on the verge of losing 'Dibu' to Rúben Amorim, Aston Villa already has a replacement lined up, which in this case is Diogo Costa, goalkeeper and captain of Porto. However, the English will only move for the Portuguese after the Argentine's departure.

With many problems in goal, currently managed by André Onana and Altay Bayindir, Rúben Amorim is close to securing the signing of an experienced goalkeeper, capable of providing an immediate response to the needs. If the deal does not materialize, the other option on the table is Senne Lammens from Antwerp.
