Aston Villa transfer message was right there before our eyes as Emi Martinez gets green light

Emi Martinez all-but revealed a transfer at Aston Villa and no one noticed.

The 33-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from Villa Park for the second summer on the bounce.

After strong links to Manchester United last year, it is now Juventus who want the shot-stopper.

A potential move has been put on ice as he continues his World Cup campaign with Argentina.

The B6 star is now into the semi-final of the tournament and will shortly face England for a place in the final.

After earning a place in the final four, Martinez dropped a hint about a next transfer that no one picked up on in B6.

What did Emi Martinez say to Johan Manzambi?

It finally looks as if the Villans are about to seal a signing.

Johan Manzambi had looked set to join Newcastle United, but Villa have now hijacked a move.

Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg declared a done deal for the 20-year-old on Sunday after a total package of around £60million was agreed with Freiburg.

He will soon undergo a medical after agreeing to terms at Villa Park before a transfer is sealed.

The irony is with all of this is that Manzambi told Martinez that he was going to be wearing claret and blue in the early hours of Sunday after Argentina secured victory over Switzerland.

The midfielder didn't feature due to injury but still found his way onto the pitch at full time to have a short-but-sweet conversation with the keeper.

Martinez asked, "Are you coming to Villa?", Manzambi confirms before the keeper smiles and taps him on the chest with his glove.

The signs were right there and it could give fresh hope that the keeper is set to stick around.

Martinez could now stay at Aston Villa

It is a superb piece of business to get a talent like Manzambi through the doors.

After such a frustrating window to this point, it is a breath of fresh air to sign a 20-year-old who has already proven himself on the world stage.

Excitement has only stepped up after footage with the Villa goalkeeper emerged.

It could actually prove to be good news for Martinez's future.

Would he be grinning ear-to-ear and clearly buzzing with Manzambi if he had his heart set on a move to Juventus? Probably not.

That could be good news for everyone in B6 as the Villans build towards a season back in the Champions League.
