Juventus Make Emiliano Martínez Top Goalkeeper Target After Alisson Failure

Juventus have identified Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez as their primary target to strengthen the goalkeeping position this summer, following the collapse of talks for Liverpool’s Alisson Becker.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, initial discussions between the clubs are already underway regarding a potential transfer fee and personal terms. The Argentina international, celebrated for his exceptional shot-stopping ability, commanding presence, and leadership on the pitch, is viewed as the ideal upgrade for the Bianconeri’s backline.

Despite Martínez’s substantial wages at Villa Park posing a challenge, Juventus are pushing forward with the move as a priority. Tottenham Hotspur’s Guglielmo Vicario has been identified as a secondary option should the deal for the 33-year-old World Cup winner fail to materialise.

The pursuit reflects Juventus’ broader squad rebuild as they seek to restore their status among Europe’s elite. Questions remain over their Champions League qualification prospects, contrasting sharply with Aston Villa’s solid recent performances and European campaigns.A move for Martínez would represent a significant statement of intent from the Italian giants, though any deal would likely require careful financial structuring. Villa, who value their star keeper highly, may demand a premium fee for one of the Premier League’s most consistent performers between the posts.
