Transfer News: Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and More
Manchester United has opted not to pursue Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, while Liverpool has decided to retain Joe Gomez despite a bid from AC Milan. Meanwhile, Chelsea appears set to retain Raheem Sterling.
Aston Villa did not receive a formal bid from Manchester United for Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, despite the 32-year-old being frequently linked with a transfer to Old Trafford, according to Sky Sports.
Manchester United's decision against pursuing Martinez stems from concerns regarding his age and his substantial wage demands, which are reported to be around £200,000 per week, as noted by the Mirror.
Martinez has also expressed reluctance about a potential move to Galatasaray, despite Turkish reports suggesting a bid of £21.6 million.
In a related development, Liverpool has declined to allow Joe Gomez, 28, to join AC Milan after the Italian club's attempt to sign fellow England defender Marc Guehi, 25, from Crystal Palace fell through, according to Fabrizio Romano.
