Report: Villa willing to reduce €10m Dibu Martinez valuation

Juventus are looking to sign a new goalkeeper during the off-season and could offload either or potentially even both of Michele Di Gregorio and Mattia Perin, who struggled for consistency for much of the 2025-26 campaign.

Reports in Italy claim that Juve and Martinez have already agreed a package of personal terms worth around €5m per season in wages over the course of a three-year deal in Turin.

The issue for Juventus has been agreeing a fee with Villa, though. The Premier League outfit have reportedly valued the Argentina international at around €10m plus bonuses, however, Juventus have considered this to be too much for a stopper who will turn 34 in September.

There had even been suggestions that Juventus wanted to sign Martinez ‘practically for free’ given his age and the fact that he has expressed a desire to join the club.
