There has been speculation around the 33-year-old's future at the Villans for a while now and it looks like he will finally be on his way out of the B6 club in the summer.
The World Cup-winner has been a key player for Unai Emery at the Lions and the recruitment team will certainly have a massive task on their hands to find his successor. It's clear that the Villa Park hierarchy have no time to waste in their search for Martinez's replacement at the B6 club as he has reportedly reached an agreement elsewhere.
