Juventus is actively pursuing Aston Villa’s goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez, with negotiations between the two clubs underway. Sources indicate that Aston Villa is open to parting ways with the Argentine international, but a financial agreement is yet to be reached, as a gap persists between the selling club’s valuation and Juventus’s offer.
Reports from Italy suggest that Juventus has already secured a preliminary agreement with the 33-year-old goalkeeper, who is reportedly keen on signing a three-year contract in Turin. However, the Serie A giants still need to persuade Aston Villa to sanction the sale.
Juventus expert Romeo Agresti has confirmed that while the player and the Bianconeri have verbally agreed to terms, Aston Villa has not yet reached an accord with the Italian club. Agresti stated that discussions are necessary to bridge the difference between Aston Villa’s asking price and Juventus’s proposed offer.
While Juventus was initially rumored to be pushing for a free transfer, this is considered unlikely given Martinez’s contract with Aston Villa extends until 2029. Aston Villa’s valuation of the goalkeeper reportedly ranges from €10 million according to Corriere dello Sport, to €15 million as claimed by Gazzetta.
The potential arrival of Martinez has generated considerable excitement among Juventus supporters, with many commenting on the goalkeeper’s social media, urging him to make the move to the Allianz Stadium.

Juventus is engaged in ongoing discussions with Aston Villa concerning the potential transfer of goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Reports suggest that Aston Villa is willing to consider selling Martinez, and the Premier League club and the Italian giants are in talks to narrow the discrepancy between the asking price and the offer.
Multiple Italian sources claim that Juventus has reached an agreement in principle with the 33-year-old, who is reportedly ready to sign a three-year deal in Turin. Juventus expert Romeo Agresti has confirmed that the player and Juventus have agreed terms, but the Serie A club must now convince Aston Villa to release the Argentine keeper.
Agresti reported on X that Aston Villa is open to selling Martinez, but an agreement with the Serie A club has not yet been finalized. He stated, “Negotiations are needed to reduce the gap between the asking price and the offer.”
Sky Sport Italia previously reported that Juventus was pushing for a free transfer, but it is unlikely Aston Villa would let Martinez leave without a fee, as his contract runs until 2029. According to Corriere dello Sport, Aston Villa’s asking price is €10 million, while Gazzetta reports the Premier League side has demanded €15 million.
Juventus fans appear eager for Martinez’s arrival, with thousands commenting on his recent Instagram posts, urging him to join Juventus.
