Juventus ‘close to agreement’ with Aston Villa for Emiliano Martinez | OneFootball

Juventus are close to an agreement with Aston Villa to sign Emiliano Martinez in a deal worth about 10 million euros, according to The Athletic. The 33-year-old Argentina goalkeeper won the 2022 World Cup.

The Turin club have submitted a fresh offer that includes bonuses and is thought to be near Villa’s valuation.

The renewed push comes as Juve keeper Michele Di Gregorio has faced criticism in Italy after underwhelming pre-season performances.

Initial approaches were rejected, but the Bianconeri have returned for Dibu Martinez, who was a recent World Cup finalist with the Albiceleste.

Villa, meanwhile, want to recruit Japan international Zion Suzuki from Parma after his proposed move to PSG collapsed.
