Juventus targets Emiliano Martinez as Aston Villa goalkeeper potentially available

Juventus is reportedly intensifying efforts to acquire Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to replace Michele Di Gregorio. The club may soon submit a formal offer, with reports suggesting Villa could accept a bid of €7 million, lower than their initial request of €10 million. Martinez, a key player at Villa, could benefit from a substantial pay rise, moving from £130,000 to £200,000 a week. The potential transfer is influenced by Zion Suzuki's impending move to Villa, which may facilitate Martinez's exit from the club. Juventus seeks to bolster their goalkeeping options after Di Gregorio's disappointing performance last season.
