Martinez on Messi's transfer to Villa: "I will reduce my salary for him if necessary"

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez spoke about Lionel Messi and his future in an interview with 'ESPN'. The Argentinian spoke about a possible transfer of the PSG striker to Emery's side.

"I would bring him to Aston Villa. I would tempt him with a mate, I'd make roasts for him every weekend, I'd ask people to make little flags for him and he has a good time. I will reduce my salary for Messi if necessary," he said.

Moreover, the 30-year-old spoke about the English side and their aim of reaching the European places in the Premier League. The goalkeeper said he "still doesn't know how to process defeats" well.

"It has happened to me to lose a game, get home and not talk to anyone. It's hard to find that balance. I have cried for losing a game, I have laughed too much for winning a game. Accepting defeat is not in my blood."
