It seems that the rumours around Martinez leaving in the summer are strengthening and if he wants to leave we should thank him and wish him well.

For once however the club is in a strong negotiating position and when he goes, he goes on our terms. My personal preference would be we don't sell him to anyone else in the premiership but if the club decides to, then it must be for a record fee for a goalkeeper .

I don't see him going simply because I think there are very few clubs that could / would pay what we want from him and most of them have top keepers at the club already. Chelsea the obvious one if they move Kepa on, LOTM made a good point recently about United as well. Outside of those where else would be go really? This Spanish giants have world class keepers already, Bayern and PSG are well stocked, Juve or Inter perhaps but would they drop 60M+ on a keeper when it's not really needed as a priority given the keepers they have? I just don't see him moving unless there is some real activity in the market at the top clubs, he may have an eye on leaving but we hold all the power here and if a stupidedly massive bid doesn't arrive he'll be at Villa next season IMO.
