Emiliano Martinez, the custodian for Aston Villa, was seen “in tears” after the final whistle of Friday night’s Premier League victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
The Villans secured a crucial victory over Spurs, with Unai Emery’s team still in the running for Champions League football. In the second half, goals from Boubacar Kamara and Ezri Konsa were sufficient to secure the home team all three points.
Goalie Martinez was seen sobbing on the pitch following the last whistle during Villa’s final home game of the season.
Martinez at Villa Park in Tears
“It appeared as though he was bidding farewell.”
Journalist Charlie Haffenden shared his explanation for the tears on social media, writing:
For a few minutes after full time, Emiliano Martinez broke down in tears, perhaps attempting to take in every second of the Villa Park ambiance. It seemed to me that he was bidding adieu.
“Emi Martinez appeared particularly emotional after Aston Villa’s final home game of the season, spending a few moments taking it all in and wiping his eyes before heading down the tunnel,” reported journalist John Townley, who also reported on the occurrence.
“A jumping Villa Park goes a little flat as Emi Martinez leaves the pitch in tears,” James Toney of Sportsbeat continued. Say it. “Ain’t.”
Martinez Is Associated With A Move to Saudi Arabia
Joan Garcia is being targeted as a substitute.
Recent sources claim that Villa is “ready to sell” Martinez since the Argentine custodian is rumoured to be interested in joining the Saudi Pro League. A deal might be reached because Villa and Al-Nassr have a close relationship after Jhon Duran’s £64 million transfer to Al-Nassr in January.
Joan Garcia of Espanyol seems to be the team’s first pick to take Martinez’s spot, but Arsenal will be a fierce rival. The La Liga team is apparently willing to discuss the Spaniard’s £21 million contract release clause.
Given the current circumstances, it appears highly probable that the Argentine will depart in the summer.
