Juventus struggles to complete Emi Martinez transfer from Aston Villa

Summary

Juventus is experiencing challenges in their pursuit of Emi Martinez from Aston Villa amid prolonged negotiations. Reports detail that Aston Villa remains firm on their €12 million asking price for Martinez, who is on a three-week break and will return to Birmingham mid-August. The Serie A club is running low on time to finalize a goalkeeper and may shift their focus to Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario as a potential loan option. Vicario is seen as a more financially viable alternative, offering Serie A experience and a lower salary demand.
