Chelsea confirmed on Sunday morning that Emi Martinez has joined from Aston Villa on a two-year contract with an option for a further 12 months.
The story comes from Ben Jacobs, who reports that the transfer is valued at £7.5m and is structured as a two-plus-one agreement.
Martinez expressed that the switch was a straightforward decision for him and his family, describing his excitement to get started and his intention to achieve success at his new club.
The club confirmation establishes that the move is complete and that the goalkeeper has signed permanently from Aston Villa rather than joining on loan. The reported two-plus-one terms indicate a two-year deal with the possibility of extending by a further season.
Specific financial mechanisms such as add-ons, and the exact conditions of the option year, were not detailed in the reporting.
