‘Dibu’ Martinez tearfully says soodbye to Aston Villa, alarm sounds in Birmingham

A tearful Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez (23) waves to fans after the English championship Premier League football match between Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur on 16 May 2025 at Villa Park in Birmingham, England

BIRMINGHAM (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – An important victory with a Champions League flavour, a tearful farewell that for the Aston Villa fans has the bitter taste of a potential farewell.

It all happened last night in Birmingham, the home team beats Tottenham 2-0 and, with one round to go, remains in the running for qualification for the top European competition. An important victory, certainly, but not to the point of moving a world champion like Dibu Martinez.

Yet the Argentine goalkeeper says goodbye to the fans and leaves the pitch in tears, just as happens when a fan favourite knows that his professional life is about to change. According to the British tabloids, the future of “Dibu” will no longer be at Aston Villa despite a contract until 2029, he has pharaonic offers from Saudi Arabia, but he has already said no because he wants to continue playing at the top levels. A prospect that other big teams in the Premier League and in general in the best European leagues are ready to offer him.
