Aston Villa's goalkeeper Emi Martinez is a priority target for Juventus, but the Italian giants are unwilling to pay the Villans' surprisingly low asking price of €10m plus add-ons.

What happened?

Juventus are on the hunt for a new goalkeeper and have made Martinez their top target. According to Sky Sport Italia, Aston Villa have set their asking price, but it's still too steep for Juventus.

Why it matters for Aston Villa

The failure to qualify for Champions League football and the wider financial state of Italian football have had a serious impact on Juventus. As of 25 Jun 2026, Aston Villa stands 4th in Premier League, with 55 pts, 16W-7D-9L from 32 games, and a recent form of DWLLL.

What comes next?

Martinez will turn 34 in September, and Juventus deem the outlay too much, especially with the player demanding wages of around €5m. The last result for Aston Villa was a 2-1 win against Manchester City on 2026-05-24. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 4th in Premier League | | Points | 55 | | Recent form | DWLLL | | Last result | Manchester City 1-2 Aston Villa | Aston Villa's current standing and recent form may impact their transfer decisions, including the potential sale of Martinez.
