Martinez waves tearfully to Villa Park as Emery offers no assurances over future

Aston Villa beat Tottenham 2-0 on May 16, 2025, in their final home game of the Premier League season at Villa Park.
The win followed Villa's strong Champions League quarter-final run and an eighth victory in their last nine league matches, but Chelsea's concurrent win dropped Villa to fifth place.
Aston Villa’s chances of securing a Champions League place were boosted by goals in the latter part of the match from Ezri Konsa and Boubacar Kamara, while goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez became emotional after the game amid ongoing transfer rumors.
Manager Unai Emery expressed uncertainty about Martinez's future, saying, "We will see," and emphasized the need to evaluate the team and players moving forward.
Martinez's tearful farewell gestures sparked fan speculation about his departure, with reports linking him to Saudi Pro League clubs and Villa reportedly willing to sell him this summer.
