Overview
- Damian Vidagany told 365Scores on Tuesday that Emiliano Martínez will remain at Aston Villa this summer and that the club has no intention of selling him.
- Vidagany described Martínez as a key, influential figure in Emery's squad and noted the goalkeeper has a contract at Villa through 2029.
- Italian reports that Martínez had agreed personal terms with Juventus are directly contradicted by Villa's public statement and remain unconfirmed.
- Reports say Juventus were unwilling to pay the fee Villa sought, leaving Turin likely to pursue alternatives such as Guglielmo Vicario and Zion Suzuki.
- Observers warn that selling Martínez cheaply would force Villa to spend significantly to replace a world-class keeper and could disrupt Emery's plans for the coming season.
