Overview
- Juventus have reopened talks with Emiliano Martinez’s representatives and multiple reports say the player favors a move to Turin, but no club‑to‑club agreement has been completed.
- The two clubs are reported to be far apart on value, with Juventus linked to low initial offers and Aston Villa seeking a fee closer to €10–15 million.
- Aston Villa have been scouting replacement goalkeepers for months and Fabrizio Romano says Parma’s 23‑year‑old Zion Suzuki is one of three keepers on their shortlist.
- Villa are also tracking several other targets including James Trafford, Anatoliy Trubin, Álex Remiro and Bart Verbruggen, reflecting both tactical fit needs and the cost constraints of the market.
- If Juventus meet Villa’s valuation the transfer would free wages and generate funds for Villa while forcing Unai Emery to integrate a new first‑choice keeper before the season starts.
