Juventus target Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez

Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti has identified Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez as a target. Juventus have opened discussions with Martinez’s representatives for a three‑year contract. Martinez is an Argentine World Cup winner. He has won seven finals from seven appearances for club and country. His reputation includes a decisive save in the 2022 World Cup final after Randal Kolo Muani’s chance. The report highlights Martinez’s personality, noting he has few rivals in that area. Juventus seek players who are “cool, tough, and, if necessary, brazen,” according to the source. Juventus propose a salary of around €5 million per season. Aston Villa have opened talks from a valuation of about €10 million including bonuses, while Juventus aim to lower that figure. Martinez has moved ahead of Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario on Juventus’ shortlist. The club is also assessing the futures of Michele Di Gregorio and Mattia Perin. Juventus are scouting Frosinone goalkeeper Lorenzo Palmisani, an Under‑21 international. Palmisani is valued at roughly €4‑5 million. The club could use a deal similar to the one employed for Federico Gatti. Juventus aim to restore themselves as a genuine force in Serie A and European competition. Their Argentine heritage includes stars such as Omar Sivori, Mauro Camoranesi, Carlos Tevez, Gonzalo Higuain, Paulo Dybala and Angel Di Maria. Martinez’s career began as an Arsenal reserve goalkeeper before rising to prominence. If the agreement is reached, Martinez would join Juventus and complete a broader restructuring of the goalkeeping department. His arrival would add experience to a side that also targets Champions League contention.
