Looks like his agent is already talking about things that should not be talked about.

Damian Emiliano Martinez was the most decisive goalkeeper of the World Cup. A well-deserved cup for Argentina, a great competition played by the Aston Villa full-back and a future that will inevitably be among the big names in football. “Argentina was the best team, they showed great unity. And he deservedly won”; the goalkeeper's agent, Gustavo Goni, told Tuttomercatoweb. "Damian - continues Goni - has demonstrated what was thought for some time: he is a great goalkeeper, the best in the world".

Is it a hypothesis to consider a future in Serie A?
“Today there are few teams that can afford a goalkeeper like him. But Serie A, well, why not? Clearly aiming high, for the Champions League”.

His client has received criticism for the final exultation on the occasion of the award. Someone judged it a bit vulgar.
“It's football stuff, an impulsive reaction. It's more important to talk about the decisive save a few minutes from the end. He's shown great talent."

And Martinez Quarta? What future?
“People obviously thought about the World Cup. The boy has admirers in the Premier League. After all, who doesn't like a player like him? We will evaluate if a good option arrives. He's doing very well, he was elected the best defender in Serie A. We're fine in Florence but we know the transfer market is unpredictable

Too right. I hope we didn't include a release clause.

£100m turned out to be a bargain for the professional wino & STD-magnet Grealish, but we're talking about the best man for his position in the world here. Given defenders & keepers tend to attract lower fees than midfielders & attackers, I hope we didn't set a clause at, say, £50m, assuming nobody would pay it.

Following the world cup, and unlike most keepers, Emi has real marketing potential, so if we hold the cards, our starting position should be £150m.

You can only have one goalkeeper, and if you want the best (and now, most famous) in the world, you're going to have to pay for him.

I hope he stays for a decade and helps us win the league and the european cup. But if he's going to leave, he's a commodity the like of which we haven't seen for decades, if ever, and he's on a long term contract.

If anybody is serious about buying him, the least we can do is absolutely fucking rinse them.

I feel like I'm reading Borges. Has he moved to Fiorentina, and started playing as a defender?

Lucas Martinez Quarta is a different player. A defender for  Fiorentina nonetheless.

Is he the best keeper in the world? No.
Is he the best keeper in the PL? No.
Is he the best keeper we've ever had? No.
Is he the world's most recognisable keeper, the most famous, the most marmite player on the planet right now? Yes.
Would I hate him if he played for another club? With a passion.
Am I over the moon that he's ours? You fkn betcha!

Absolutely, since the minute he walked through the door he's been fantastic, saving the penalty on his debut.
