Overview
- Juventus still prefer Emiliano Martínez but Aston Villa publicly refused to sell and rejected a low offer, leaving that transfer route effectively closed.
- Citing Tottenham’s decision to omit Guglielmo Vicario from its pre‑season tour on Thursday, Juventus have intensified talks for the 29‑year‑old as a lower‑cost option often discussed as a loan with an option to buy.
- Juventus have resumed discussions with Parma over Japan international Zion Suzuki and are also monitoring Benfica’s Anatoliy Trubin plus Vanja Milinković‑Savić and Marco Carnesecchi as contingency plans.
- Club negotiations are focused on deal structure and affordability, with Juventus preferring loans or shared wages while selling clubs demand higher fees and outright buys.
- If Vicario moves elsewhere or Parma and Benfica hold firm on high valuations, the scramble could trigger a wider goalkeeper market shift and force Juventus to rely on Michele Di Gregorio or settle for a short‑term solution.
