Despite interest from across Europe, including Juventus, TEAMtalk report that Unai Emery views the World Cup winner as untouchable heading into the new season. Martinez returns for pre-season with his Villa future firmly settled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/HNmC4smXQAAz1QO.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Trafford\u2019s Plan B Just Became Plan A<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Here\u2019s where it gets interesting for Leeds. James Trafford had long been earmarked as Villa\u2019s succession plan should Martinez ever leave. That safety net has now vanished \u2014 and with it, one of Trafford\u2019s most realistic routes to regular first-team football outside Manchester City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Elland Road Offers What City Can\u2019t<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Trafford\u2019s stalled progress at the Etihad has been well documented, and regular Premier League minutes are non-negotiable if he\u2019s serious about challenging Jordan Pickford for England\u2019s gloves. Leeds can promise exactly that: undisputed number one status from day one, something Villa never could with Martinez blocking his path.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>The Domino Effect<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">City are reportedly resigned to losing Trafford before deadline day, and Leeds are said to be willing to smash their goalkeeper transfer record to get it done. Sometimes the biggest moves in the market aren\u2019t decided by the buying club at all \u2014 they\u2019re decided by what happens somewhere else entirely. Villa just made Leeds\u2019 decision a whole lot easier.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leeds United\u2019s hunt for a new number one just got a lot more straightforward.
