The truth about the goalkeeper of Aston Villa Emiliano Martinez's Liberal Clause can be revealed in the midst of the reported interest of Manchester United.
Ruben Amorim's side could be forced to sign a new keeper after Andre Onana had a hamstring tear on the second day of the training for the season.
The Cameroonian will be sidelined between four and six weeks, so that he may also be held from the opening of the Premier League matches from United against Arsenal and Fulham.
Earlier in the summer, United was connected to a movement for Villa Shot Stopper Martinez, but conversations seem to have become quiet in that area.
The Argentinian was emotional at the end of the last home game of last season, against Tottenham on May 16, and although that does not guarantee his departure, it was thought that Martinez would consider a new challenge.
Reports in Argentina suggested this week that United led their interest in the former Arsenal star after he had discovered his £ 21.6 million release clause.
However, Mailsport can reveal that Martinez does not have such a clause in his contract.
Even prior to Onana's injury, United would be on the market for a new goalkeeper in the midst of his bad bad performance last season.
United has placed a price tag of £ 30 million on Onana, but he seems to stay in the club more and more likely this summer.
Mail Sport revealed that this was the prize that was noted to Monaco when the French club asked to sign Onana at the end of last month.
Sources in France say that Monaco will continue to follow the situation, but it is unlikely that they pay so much for the keeper.
Saudi Pro League -Nieuwkomers SC Nom has also been following Onana in the background for some time before signing Poland International Marcin Bulka of Nice in recent days.
Onana would like to stay and club sources say that he will stay as United's no 1
