Chelsea reach verbal agreement to sign Emiliano Martínez, HERE WE GO

Club to club agreement with Aston Villa on fee worth £7.5m for permanent move.



Chelsea is coming for the league.

I think he’s really overrated, he’s been living off the 2022 World Cup for years. He got voted best GK in the world twice, which was ridiculous really.

Sanchez is terrible though so Martinez will improve Chelsea.  

Emiliano Martinez is a very good goalkeeper with excellent saving skills and his responsive rate is super fast that is very impressive but most importantly is helpful for his saving job.

He has an amazing record of winning all final matches he played before the final match in World Cup 2026, but I only share the information about him and don't intend to use it as saying that he is a good goalkeeper. He won and lost final matches with his teammates, not only by himself, and these results are truly team-working results from Argentina to Aston Villa in recent years.

A biggest disadvantage of Emi Martinez is his reactions that are too egoistic, arrogant and too rude which prevented big clubs signing a contract with him until this summer with an offer and eventually contract from Chelsea.

With his saving skills and strong mentality in big matches, he will improve the defense system of Chelsea in this season with contributions from the goalkeeper position.

In other words, the more arrogant and disrespectful he is, the better he is at goalkeeping. You simply cannot deny his quality. He has saved his club many times, as well as Argentina, including that famous save against Kolo Muani. His move to Chelsea clearly shows that the club has very good intentions with him and generally wants to get the best out of Martinez. His arrogance and disrespectful attitude may sometimes help him, but i think they will hurt him more in the long run.

🚨EXCL: Arsenal have reached agreement with Atlético de Madrid
snip

That’s most likely fake news, because so far Atlético Madrid and Arsenal are only in talks, and there hasn’t been any deal like the tweet claimed.. Even so, Arsenal is still keeping open the possibility of signing Álvarez from Atlético Madrid, because Atlético have already made it clear they will not transfer Álvarez to Barca or any other La Liga club... On top of that, he no longer seems motivated to play for ATM, so the best option is for him to move to Arsenal... But all of this is still waiting on agreement from all sides, so nothing is certain yet.

Arsenal fans, what is the situation surrounding Gabriel Jesus leaving the club? Napoli made an offer to sign him to replace Lukaku, who left, but news reaching me today says Gabriel Jesus has decided to remain at Arsenal without minding to be a fourth choice striker in the club.

He may not have playing time, who knows, but he has refused to disclose the amount he is earning without doing anything for the club. This reminds me of Tomiyasu, who literally offered to terminate his contract after he got injured.

I don't know how true the information is, but I believe that of Tomiyasu a bit, even without being sure. Japanese have a certain code of uprightness that many lack.

I think Gabriel Jesus chose to stay because he knows that he could be an asset anyway and above all because he knows that this year Arsenal could really manage to achieve something sensational. Given how the team has been built to date, it could also aim for the final victory of the Champions League.

How do you know all these or you are just assuming things. Where else do you want Gabriel jesus to go to, when he's loving it in Arsenal and has called the place home. Don't be dreaming last season is the best Arsenal can perform in UCL. They wouldn't reach the finals this season.

I don't understand why Arsenal are keeping in the team both Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli. I would say that both players under-performed, the expectations were higher, and they only delivered acceptable performances. If I were Arsenal, I would have sold at least one of them, also because I'm sure their salaries are pretty steep.

Every non-Liverpool is underrated?! Jesus Fvckn Christ. And so what?! He has high standards and high qualities, I have always wanted him to be the Manchester United goalkeeper because of how he fvcks with strikers mentally. It wasn't in the slightest way, he earned it, he was worth it.

Yeah, so much blunder from the previous season.

He is the only Brighton player sold to Chelsea who has underperformed.

Dibu Martinez is the type of goalie that win you big games and trophies. Wise decision from Chelsea management.

I doubt if Gabriel Jesus will become and asset to Arsenal if he continues at the club unless he will stop falling to injury because that is what has sidelined him in the squad if not he would have been a better player by now. Gabriel Jesus's future at Arsenal remains uncertain because Arteta explained that the reason he has excluded Gabriel Jesus in the squad so far is to avoid an injury that may jeopardise the chances of other clubs coming to sign him and currently, Jesus has about 3 teams who are asking for a contract. The teams includes Juventus, Napoli and Atletico Madrid. Since Arteta had made his stance on Jesus, it will be better for him to consider any of those teams that wants to sign him.

Worst transfer of the season.

Galatasaray reach agreement in principle to sign Rafael Leão.

Leão accepted Galatasaray better personal terms proposal today, after Aston Villa couldn't come up with a better terms proposal for the Portuguese winger.

AC Milan to receive package in excess of €45m with add-ons and sell-on clause also included.

I don't understand why Arsenal are keeping in the team both Gabriel Jesus and Martinelli. I would say that both players under-performed, the expectations were higher, and they end they only delivered acceptable performances. If I were Arsenal, I would have sold at least one of them, also because I'm sure their salaries are pretty steep.

Arsenal doesn't want to keep both players, that is just the real truth but maybe they do not want to make it openly because I read that the club has a secret motive to sell both players and I think that Gabriel Martinelli is almost near to signing a deal with Saudi club Al Hilal so there's no way they can remain in the squad except they want to remain in the bench because there are preferable players that are prioritised ahead of them so taking the bow will be the best thing to do.

Here is what I read on the Internet

Gabriel Jesus has been missing from Arsenal’s squad for their matches this season, and Mikel Arteta has spoken about his current situation at the club.

One of the worst-kept secrets at the Emirates is that the club wants him and Gabriel Martinelli to leave in this transfer window, and both players have suitors

Gabriel Jesus case is very complicated,  because he has been told that he is no longer in Arteta's plan, but he still wants to remain at the club. I noticed that most players don't want to leave Arsenal,  I don't really know what's going on there, that they just don't want to leave. I still think that Gabriel Jesus will still leave the club before the end of the transfer window. I guess Napoli pulled out of the deal because of his wage demand, and I really don't think any club will want to pay him what he is earning at Arsenal right. Arsenal on the other hand are also trying to get rid of him, to they can reduce their wages. It's really a company one, but I think it's one to watch out for before the transfer window closes.

Dibu Martinez is the type of goalie that win you big games and trophies. Wise decision from Chelsea management.

Many will say a lot about him, but he has always proven himself. After a great performance in the 2022 World Cup, his performance in the 2026 World Cup was also great, although he was suffering from injury problems. He is also a great goalkeeper in club football, but he was under a lot of pressure behind Aston Villa's weak defensive line. He is also a human being, it is natural for him to make mistakes.

Chelsea has a strong team, in this team Dibu Martinez may be going to do something great. He can solve the problem that Chelsea has with the goalkeeper. His age is definitely a concern, which is why it would be wrong to expect long-term service from him. Chelsea now has at least two seasons to look for a good goalkeeper. Taking Martinez into the team is a great decision for Chelsea, maybe Xabi Alonso also has a role behind it.

[giorgione]

Lmao... I don't think any of these have anything to do with the team they are playing. Players get criticized when they are being bought by a huge amount of money so you can't compare Delap's situation with the likes of Hojlund. If a player is bought with huge amount the expectation is usually high and when they don't meet that expectation it becomes a problem that's why the criticism on players like Hojlund was high.

Delap was not bought with huge money so the pressure and expectation wasn't much but he still couldn't give the performance the team expected. He's probably still inexperienced that's why moving to a smaller club might benefit him more. He's not really a bad player, he's got qualities but maybe it wasn't time yet to join a club like Chelsea.

its normal and its the same reason that in my opinion ruins football. Not only and exclusively for this reason, but paying a huge amount puts unacceptable pressure on the players. For example, the new signing of Real Madrid, very young, but the highest paid in the history of Real Madrid. For that young age he can certainly be a talent, but with such pressure on your shoulders in a top club it can also ruin you.

On top of that, he no longer seems motivated to play for ATM, so the best option is for him to move to Arsenal... But all of this is still waiting on agreement from all sides, so nothing is certain yet.

If Alvarez agree to join Arsenal, Atletico Madrid will sell him immediately, Atletico Madrid are ready to sell the player to any club except La Liga rivals, the player said he only wants to join Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will never let that happen, because Barcelona did not follow the rules of football by going behind to talk with the player to join them when they knew he has a contract with his current club, what Barcelona did there is not good, and if any Barcelona think Atletico Madrid reaction is bad then the fan did not know football.

Atletico Madrid has the right to do whatever they like because the player has a contract of four years remaining, for me, Alvarez is ungrateful player, Atletico Madrid sign him when he is having a bad day at Manchester City, he is not happy because he is not a starting player under Pep Guardiola, and Atletico Madrid signed him for over 90 million and build a team around him, and he started misbehaving and want to leave and join Barcelona that is one of the big rivals of Atletico Madrid, other clubs can sign him if he want to join, but he will never join Barcelona from Atletico Madrid.

I don't really care if he is overrated because I know he is not too far from the hype he gets even if he doesn't deserve does award and not necessarily the best since I can mention others ahead of him but like you said in your final statement he is a improvement from Sanchez especially regarding consistency which is among the major issues from Sanchez.

Regardless, my eyes have always been on him and Pickford in fact before he got the global recognition through the 2022 World Cup.

[Localhostspeed]

Lmao, seems you were pissed because your favorite was not rated and I understand. I don't think the guy is respect like he deserves. The guy was the reason why Argentina had their 2022 world cup. If you removed Messi from the team, the next big guy in that team is Emiliano Martinez, he knows how to play mind games with players, bro knows how to make sure he played and toy with their emotions and forget what brings them to the match.

I don't know why the fee was that cheap for his release clause, he has done more than enough to be bought with that amount. Perhaps he wanted to leave the team to go elsewhere and I'm sure if Chelsea favour him, like finish at the top or the best win the league, his release clause will increase tremendously. I hope Xabi succeed in Chelsea, it will be the best of his career because the club has been on the decline for long.

What a disappointmentt. He went from rejected offers by EPL club to the play for Galatasaray. We can see how downgrade his quality is right now. He could leave from Milan when he was still at peak, and i believe he would get hundreds of chance to try on competitive club in the big league such as EPL.

Its also a huge lost for Milan because they could have sold him for more than a hundred million, then it's ended with 45m. I know they have 20% clause on him in this transfer, but it's not as big as if they sold him at peak.

Galatasaray have made a great signing by bringing in Rafa Leao for this fee; given his performances over the last few years and his statistics, I believe this is the fairest valuation for this player.
I should point out that I’ve never been a fan of his as a footballer, but I have to admit that he did very well for Milan whilst the club considered him indispensable; moreover, his form has dropped significantly since Theo Hernandez left – the two of them were a dynamic duo at Milan.

[bastisisca]

Chelsea is so good in market transfer.

Yes, it must be said that after having spent a lot of money coming in, he finally manages to manage the finances a little through some strangely profitable redundancies. I'm talking for example about Delap at Nottingham Forest for a fee of 50 million. It seems surreal to me, given the performances and the little service given to the team. i don't know what could have convinced Nottingham to invest all that money.

[verdinio]

I think Xavi Alonso wil handle Chelsea problem because he has the eye of quality players the transfer windows has really shaping Chelsea to compete with other club this season the arrival of Alonso to Chelsea is definitely a good one, the coach want to make sure the blues are the best in this summer. For Manchester city I wish if they can sign a good midfielder someone like Enzo Fernandez had experience he can really handle Manchester city midfield perfectly if they will sign him in such amount I believe city shall go far this season. Ezo mascara should sit up otherwise it will be very difficult for him this season.

Xabi Alonso has the right eye to be able to make the necessary changes within the team. For example, Enzo Fernandez at City is certainly something that can raise money for Chelsea, but at the same time they would lose a midfielder who in the last period has been one of the few guarantees that Chelsea has had.

[cande86]

Chelsea are like Elon Musk when it comes to deals in selling off players, they have that wizardry quality. They suad may be playing badly, but believe me, no club comes any close to their business sense when it comes to outgoings in the transfer market. If the report or rumoar is true, then selling Enzo for a fee of 145 million is a good deal, even if they are selling to direct rivals. Chelsea also bought hime a  very high price and if Man city is willing to pay the huge sum for him then it is a win for chelsea, at least even if he had not leave up to the usual expectations, they can get some massive fee by selling him.

ye, it almost seems that Chelsea doesn't pay much attention to the various losses, because in any case they made a transfer market in the space of a decade worth more than two billion pounds in total, which says a lot about how many players have come and gone from the team, even if perhaps purchased for a very high sum and then resold for a third of that sum.
