00:00Aston Villa are reportedly stepping up plans for a future without goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez
00:07as uncertainty continues to surround the keeper's future in the Midlands.
00:15The Argentinian international has been a key figure since joining from Arsenal in 2020,
00:23helping transform Villa into European contenders under Unai Emery.
00:28It could be that the keeper decides to depart this year.
00:32He did make a lap of honour last season, waving goodbye to the fans and then turned up next season
00:39at Villa Park.
00:40So we never know quite what's going to happen with Martinez.
00:44Now then, if Martinez does leave Aston Villa, who will they replace him with?
00:49Well, according to reports in France, Aston Villa are looking at two league and keepers.
00:54Rissa, who is 21 years old, has impressed during a breakthrough season with RC Lanz,
01:01registering 10 clean sheets and earning recognition as one of France's brightest young talents.
01:09So that's an option as well.
01:10However, Lanz are reluctant to sell unless a significant bid is made for the player.
01:15And then there's Toulouse star Restes as well, who is under consideration.
01:20He's 21 years old and has already close to 100 league appearances and is viewed as a more attainable option
01:28financially for the club.
