Juventus eye Lucas Chevalier as Martinez deal stalls

Juventus have opened talks with Paris Saint-Germain regarding goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. Emiliano Martinez remains Spalletti’s first‑choice goalkeeper despite Juventus’ interest. Aston Villa’s valuation of Martinez at around €40 million and his salary demand of roughly €7 million per season strain Juventus’s wage ceiling. Lucas Chevalier has fallen out of favour at Paris Saint-Germain after the rise of Safonov. Besiktas are reported to be interested in signing Chevalier for Turkey under new coach Vincenzo Italiano. Juventus’s ongoing dialogue with Paris Saint-Germain over Randal Kolo Muani could facilitate a broader negotiation involving Chevalier. Vicario, previously a fallback option, is now expected to stay in the Premier League.
