Aston Villa will "listen to the offer" to provide quotes for two stars preparing to go to Saudi Arabia

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez is expected to transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez and Leon Bailey are the latest two Premier League players to attract Saudi Arabia's interest, both players reportedly have a chance to transfer as the club prepares to take another balanced action under the rules of the fiscal fair play.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Saudi sources confirmed that Martinez and Bailey have received attention from professional league clubs. Reports said:

Although the identity of the club that is interested in Martinez and Bailey is not clear, a Saudi source confirmed to the Daily Telegraph sports page that the two are ready for a transfer.

"In order to comply with the financial rules of the Premier League and Europe, Villa sold forward Jon Duran to Saudi club Arnasr in January and sold Mousa Diabi to Etihad last summer."

"Villa is expected to sell players this summer to help balance the financial rules while working to improve the team's roster, regardless of whether the club is eligible for the Champions League or not, Villa will be selling players this summer to help balance the financial rules while working to improve the team's roster.

Martinez is one of Villa's highest-paid players. Whether at home or in Europe, Villa's competitors think the club may think it's time to hear a offer for one of its main players.

The Argentine goalkeeper has been a key figure in Villa's rise under Unai Emery, helping the club on 2022/23 He performed well this season, thus earning a place in the Champions League this season.

He has also received many important personal honors in the process, including two consecutive Yassin Cups and the FIFA Best Men's Goalkeeper Award in 2022.

Although Martinez has had some great performances this season, including the best player of the game against Bayern Munich, he has not been in the best form.

He has made many costly mistakes in the game, including striking mistakes against Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, and more and more people believe that the club may now be willing to transfer if the price is right.

Martinez signed a long-term contract renewal in 2022, valid until 2029 But that also made him one of the club’s highest-paid players – a fact that has not been overlooked by Saudi suitors seeking to bring in another big name player.

Villa has been linked with Espanyol goalkeeper Juan Garcia, and Manchester United also targeted the goalkeeper as a potential replacement. The Spanish goalkeeper reportedly had a £21m sack, winning praise in La Liga this season.

Meanwhile, Leon Bailey seems more dispensable. The Jamaica international has not started since early March and despite showing some strength on the bench, he has struggled to hold his main position under Emery.

Villa had 2500 in 2021 £10,000,000, and now they may want to recoup the investment, especially if it helps them adhere to UEFA's profit and sustainability rules.

Even if the Champions League returns to Villa Park next season, the club is expected to approve more players from leaving this summer as Emery hopes to cut wage spending and reorganize the team.

As Saudi interest heats up and fiscal pressures increase, Villa's transfer window may depend more on who they give up, rather than who they bring in.
