Aston Villa are now 13/10 in the Emiliano Martinez Club After Summer Transfer Window market. Read our market analysis, odds breakdown and prediction today.
The odds on Emiliano Martinez staying at Aston Villa beyond the summer window have been slashed from 727/1000 to just 13/10 with Paddy Power in the Club After Summer Transfer Window market, making a Villa stay the clear frontrunner.
Aston Villa lead the market at 13/10 with both Paddy Power and Skybet in the Club After Summer Transfer Window betting.
Villa signed Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki from Parma on a five-year deal on 18 August 2026, adding fresh competition in goal.
Tottenham, under Roberto De Zerbi, have explored a deal for the World Cup finalist and sit next in the betting.
Martinez has made 257 appearances since joining Villa in 2020 and turned 33 this year.
For all the summer noise around World Cup finalist Emiliano Martinez, the market has settled on the simplest outcome — he stays put. Aston Villa are willing to sanction a departure after six seasons, and the Argentine started for his country in the July 2026 final against Spain before returning to Villa for pre-season. He then missed the club's 2-1 UEFA Super Cup defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on 13 August 2026 while granted an extended post-tournament break. Even so, the money has moved firmly toward the here-and-now: a Villa stay is now 13/10, a dramatic collapse from the 727/1000 outsider price the option once carried.
The catalyst is a mix of squad-building and stalled deals. Villa brought in Suzuki with the expectation he takes over as the club's number one for 2026-27, and Martinez has hired agent Jorge Mendes to help engineer a move. But Juventus held talks before negotiations stalled over Villa's fee demands, and while Tottenham have circled after agreeing to sell Guglielmo Vicario to Juventus, nothing has landed. With the deadline closing and no buyer meeting Villa's valuation, the price on him remaining reflects a market that expects inertia to win out.

Who is favourite in the Emiliano Martinez transfer market?
Aston Villa are the runaway favourite at 13/10, and the reasoning is straightforward — he is already there, with 257 appearances since 2020, and no rival club has met Villa's asking price. Everything behind them is a step longer, reflecting interest that has yet to turn into an agreement.
Aston Villa – 13/10 with Paddy Power and Skybet; his current club, where a stay looks the likeliest outcome.
Tottenham – 7/2 with Bet365; De Zerbi's side need a keeper after agreeing to sell Vicario to Juventus.
Inter Miami – 13/2 with Paddy Power and Skybet; the MLS route for the 33-year-old.
Al Hilal – 15/2 with Skybet and Paddy Power; the Saudi Pro League option rounds out the shortlist.

Where will Emiliano Martinez sign next?
The likeliest answer, at 13/10, is nowhere — he stays. Villa are preparing for the 2026-27 domestic season with Suzuki inheriting the starting job, which frees Martinez to move but does not force his hand. His options ahead of the deadline still run from a Premier League stay to a move abroad, with Tottenham the most active suitor and Juventus, Inter Miami and Al Hilal in the mix. Yet with a fee still to be agreed and the clock ticking, the market's verdict is clear: unless a buyer blinks on Villa's valuation, the World Cup winner ends the window exactly where he started it.
