The Goodison Park club are close to a deal for River Plate defender Funes Mori and Martinez said today that a deal was nearly over the line.
"Ramiro was in the building yesterday (Thursday), we hope that we're going to complete the deal some time today," said Martinez.
"International clearance could take a few days. We're very excited about having him."
Martinez also talked of a move for River Plate Montevideo striker Rodriguez, who scored 18 goals in 70 appearances for the Uruguayan side.
