According to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus is quietly pushing forward with goalkeeper recruitment, with E. Martinez remaining the primary target, and Spalletti has also acknowledged his leadership qualities.

E. Martinez Close to Juventus

Juventus's target remains Aston Villa goalkeeper E. Martinez, but Villa's asking price is the main obstacle. Juventus is unwilling to pay too much for the deal and therefore has no intention of meeting Villa's valuation, which according to reports is around €15 million.

In recent weeks, the high cost has cooled Juventus's interest, but the club had previously reached a basic agreement with E. Martinez on a three-year contract with an annual net salary of €5 million. Juventus's management hopes to keep the transfer within reasonable price boundaries, attempting to reduce the total cost for the 34-year-old Argentine international goalkeeper, willing to pay a maximum of €5 million plus some bonuses tied to individual or team performance.

Juventus Negotiates Price Reduction with Aston Villa

News from Birmingham indicates that Aston Villa has for the first time softened its stance and is willing to discuss a price reduction, but Juventus believes these conditions are still insufficient to finalize the agreement. To make the transfer more cost-effective, Juventus needs to continue applying pressure, and the club's senior management is also pushing the negotiations forward.

Juventus maintains constant contact with Aston Villa, and the club is also hoping to leverage E. Martinez's previous agreement to join to smooth the process. E. Martinez is willing to accept Juventus's offer even without guaranteed Champions League football, and he will consider his future more seriously after the World Cup. Meanwhile, Juventus continues to negotiate fees with Aston Villa, and the talks will require patience.

If E. Martinez Fails, Di Gregorio Is the Backup Option

Juventus's backup options also include Italian goalkeepers, with the main focus being Thuram-Vicario. Tottenham has strengthened its goalkeeper position, and Vicario has limited opportunities in London, so he hopes to return to Italy, and a move back to Juventus is an option he is willing to consider, especially after a disappointing season in England.

However, Juventus is not his only potential destination, as Napoli is also interested in him. Conversely, this would be a lower-cost option, with Vicario's annual salary around €3 million net, but Tottenham is demanding €15 million, and both sides still need to negotiate. Another more attractive and senior candidate is Marco Carnesecchi, but Atalanta considers him untransferrable. Juventus is also monitoring Milinkovic-Savic, whose future at Napoli is uncertain, and Spalletti also rates his ball-control abilities highly.
