Overview
- Multiple Italian outlets report Juventus and Emiliano Martínez have agreed personal terms on a three-year deal worth about €5 million per season.
- The two clubs remain split on price, with Juventus linked to a loan-with-obligation package near €6.5 million and Villa publicly seeking roughly €10–12 million.
- Aston Villa officials have said Martínez is not for sale, and those public statements have hardened the club-to-club impasse.
- Sources say Martínez is willing to push for a move, and Juventus are preparing fallback targets such as David De Gea, Guglielmo Vicario, Anatoliy Trubin and other younger options.
- Martínez’s age and a contract through June 2029 strengthen Villa’s bargaining position, leaving Juventus to decide whether to meet Villa’s valuation or shift strategy before the transfer window progresses.
