Dibu Martinez to Chelsea: it's done, Jackson joins Aston Villa

The chase for the Argentine goalkeeper had started elsewhere. In June the 'Dibu' had been Juventus' number one target for the goal: Gazzetta dello Sport, Sky Sport and Eurosport reported an agreement with the player, who had said yes to the Bianconeri, and an Aston Villa that had lowered its demand from 15 to 10 million euros. That deal, however, never went through.

The turning point came on 27 August, but with a different destination. Calciomercato.com ran the headline 'EMILIANO MARTINEZ - CHELSEA HERE WE GO', announcing the agreement reached with Aston Villa for a deal worth 7.5 million pounds.

The news was also confirmed by Gianluca Di Marzio: 'Dibu Martinez joins Chelsea', with Argentina's starting goalkeeper leaving the Villans to move to the Blues.

The operation is part of a hot axis between the two clubs. Also on 27 August, a few hours earlier, Calciomercato.com had reported as done the reverse move of Nicolas Jackson to Aston Villa: an agreement with Chelsea for 65 million pounds.

As it stands the deal is treated as settled by both sources, with 'HERE WE GO' status. All that remains is the formal step, with signatures and the official announcement from the two clubs.
