Lionel Messi’s future remains undefined. Your contract with Paris Saint-Germain ends in June of this year and the Argentine star will not renew his contract. If it were up to his teammate, Emiliano Martínez, Aston Villa’s doors would be open.
“If Leo (Messi) is booed, I would bring him to Aston Villa. I will convince him with mate, I will cook for him every weekend. Emiliano Martínez on ESPN Argentina.
The main competitors for signing Messi are barcelona, from Spain, and Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia. According to Spanish newspapers, Barça would be planning to cut costs to present a financially viable proposal for the striker.
A Lionel Messi move to Aston Villa would be very unlikely given the club’s financial strength, but Emiliano Martínez thought of a solution: “I’ll cut my salary for Messi if necessary.”
Six months and five days ago, Argentina was lifting the Qatar World Cup. The South American team beat France in the final decided on penalties, after a 3-3 draw, which had two goals from Messi and a historic save from Emiliano Martínez in the final stages of extra time.
“What I learned the most from the World Cup was being calm when dealing with the result. Due to the pressure I went through, for example when Holland tied (in the semifinals). Or for having led France, which tied 3-3 and I almost lost. I suffered so much that now I play matches with much more experience”, completed the world champion goalkeeper.
