Juventus targets Emiliano Martínez as Alisson alternative after goalkeeper gives green light to move.

Emiliano Martínez’s potential switch to Juventus

According to Novyny.live: Juventus have entered negotiations with Aston Villa over the transfer of Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, who has already agreed to the move. The Serie A side is now led by head coach Luciano Spalletti, whose appointment is expected to shape the club’s recruitment strategy going forward.

Martínez, a key figure for Argentina’s national team, has spent six seasons at Aston Villa, building a reputation as a reliable shot-stopper that has attracted interest from several top clubs. Aston Villa, for their part, are demanding at least €15 million for the 32-year-old—a significant sum in the current transfer market.

Earlier in the window, Juventus had prioritized signing Alisson Becker from Liverpool, but those efforts fell through. Now, with Martínez open to a fresh challenge, the Italian club is optimistic about reaching an agreement with Villa in the near future. As one source reports,

What this transfer means for Juventus

Landing Martínez could dramatically shift the dynamics at Juventus, as the team looks to strengthen its standing in Serie A and on the European stage. Securing the goalkeeper would not only address a key position but also signal the club’s intent to be active in the market—an essential part of their squad overhaul under the new manager.

After failing to land other goalkeeping targets, finalizing a deal with Aston Villa might prove pivotal for Juventus to achieve their ambitions this season.
