Emi Martinez will not join Atletico in January

At the Metropolitano they are working very hard. The market has only just ended and the club are already preparing for what could happen in the next one.

At the end of the season, Oblak is free. That means that, if Atletico do not convince him to sign a new contract, the Slovenian will be free to negotiate with the club of his choice from January onwards.

Aston Villa's Emi Martinez is being considered as a possible replacement. In case Oblak does not want to renew, the 'Colchonero' club, as reported by the British press a few days ago, would be willing to sell him in the winter market.

Atletico, if they finally decide to sell their first-choice goalkeeper, will have a problem if the chosen player is Emi Martinez. According to 'Football Insider', Aston Villa, the club that owns the Argentine's rights, will not let him leave in January.

In any case, there is still time. Atletico's priority is for Oblak to continue and the board will do everything in their power to make it happen.
