Aston Villa Set €5m Price for Emi Martinez, Juventus Interested

Aston Villa have set a €5 million price tag for goalkeeper Emi Martinez. Unai Emery’s side want only €5 million to part with him. Martinez is under a long‑term contract with Villa.

Juventus’ search for a new goalkeeper continues amid doubts over Michele Di Gregorio and Mattia Perin. Juventus, a Serie A side, are scrambling for options, with Guglielmo Vicario’s candidacy rising in recent weeks. The Italian side also keep Emi Martinez as a concrete possibility.

Martinez’s wage demands are reported at €7 million, higher than Vicario’s expectations. Tottenham Hotspur seek €15 million for Vicario, but his lower salary makes him attractive to Juventus. Vicario’s current deal runs until 2028, with 2026 seen as a suitable year for a fee.

Aston Villa will compete in the Champions League next season, a competition neither Juventus nor Tottenham Hotspur will feature in. A move to Juventus would give Vicario Europa League football, while Villa’s Champions League participation adds appeal to Martinez’s profile. The report was compiled by Kaustubh Pandey.
