Chelsea are not interested in signing Emi Martinez and remain happy with the goalkeepers already at the club, according to Standard Sport.
The Blues are content with their current options, with Robert Sanchez as first-choice and Mike Penders as second choice. This comes after tentative links to the Argentina goalkeeper following his uncertain future at Aston Villa.
No change of heart at Stamford Bridge
Sources at Stamford Bridge insist there has been no change of heart despite Martinez's move to Juventus breaking down. He remains a player they have no transfer interest in.
Chelsea are preparing to head into the 2026-27 season with Sanchez again as their first-choice shot-stopper. He was briefly dropped last season by Liam Rosenior in favour of now-Strasbourg goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, but that had disastrous results and the Spaniard was reinstated. He is expected to remain first-choice under new manager Xabi Alonso.
Earlier links to Diogo Costa
Earlier in the transfer window, the Blues were linked with the Porto and Portugal No1 Diogo Costa. However, it is understood Chelsea never held any interest in him this summer, as they decided early on that they were content to stick with Sanchez and Penders, the young Belgian who they recalled from a loan spell at sister club Strasbourg.
Martinez's situation at Villa
Martinez, 33, appears to be in limbo after a potential move to Juventus broke down on Sunday night. Juventus then agreed a loan deal for Tottenham's goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario instead, which included an £8.5million option to buy.
Martinez's replacement at Villa is Zion Suzuki, who is moving to Villa Park from Parma for around £30million.
