Juventus withdraws from Emiliano Martinez deal over Aston Villa's price demands
Juventus has pulled out of talks to sign Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez due to Aston Villa's high asking price and is now targeting Guglielmo Vicario.
Italian football club Juventus has abandoned negotiations to sign Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez due to Aston Villa's exorbitant asking price. The Italian side concluded talks with Martinez's representatives on Sunday evening, determining Villa's financial demands were too steep. This marks the third failed attempt to agree on a transfer fee.
Initially, Martinez had been a key target for Juventus to bolster their goalkeeping department since the opening of the current summer transfer window. Following the collapse of negotiations, Juventus is now focusing on signing Guglielmo Vicario, an Italian goalkeeper from Tottenham. The 29-year-old has served as Tottenham's first-choice keeper since transferring from Empoli in 2023, accumulating 93 appearances to date.
