Inter are already planning ahead for the summer of 2026 and are expected to enter the market for a new first-choice goalkeeper, with Yann Sommer set to leave when his contract expires.
Despite having Josep Martinez in the squad, the Nerazzurri want an elite option with experience to hold the position for the next season.
According to the Italian medium Sky Sports, early contacts have been made with Emiliano Martinez, currently the goalkeeper at Aston Villa.
The Argentine remains under contract until 2029, making any potential deal complex both financially and competitively, with several big clubs monitoring his situation.
Martinez is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but his high salary and Villa's strong negotiating position mean Inter will need a compelling sporting project to stand out.
This is where Lautaro Martinez could play a key role. The Inter captain enjoys an excellent relationship with his Argentina teammate and is believed to be willing to personally consider a move to the Blues.
Lautaro sees Martinez as a goalkeeper who can immediately raise the level of Cristian Chivu's team and help Inter remain competitive domestically and in Europe.
Martinez brings a wealth of experience, having played extensively in the Premier League with Aston Villa and previously with Arsenal, as well as winning major trophies with Argentina, including the World Cup and several Copa America trophies. /Telegraph/
