Juventus withdraw from Emiliano Martínez transfer talks with Aston Villa
Summary

Juventus have decided to end their pursuit of Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, citing the high costs associated with the transfer as prohibitive. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Juventus informed Villa that negotiations would cease after an internal review of the financial package. Villa has stood firm on their asking price, and Martínez remains a key player following a strong 2025/26 season, where he recorded numerous clean sheets and helped secure a trophy for Villa in Europe. As Juventus look for alternatives, they face the challenge of replacing Martínez, who has been identified as a top target.
