The club was open to negotiations with Manchester United over the Argentina goalkeeper, but the transfer market closed with Martinez remaining a Villa player.

Emery shared his thoughts on the situation, saying, "It's normal for players to be involved in transfer talks. Some may stay, some may leave, and others may join or leave other teams."

He expressed his happiness about Martinez's decision to stay, calling it "good news" and praising the goalkeeper's commitment to the team.

Emery also highlighted Martinez's hard work and dedication, stating that the goalkeeper is always striving to improve and respect Aston Villa.
