Martinez Talks Collapse amid Fitness Doubts
Last week, Juventus reignited discussions with Aston Villa regarding a potential transfer for Emiliano Martinez. However, the negotiations broke down after Villa confirmed they would not drop their €15m asking price. Additionally, the Italian side became hesitant due to Martinez contending with a hand injury, which could potentially sideline the Argentinian international for several months.
Further Transfer Implications
Amid these developments, Aston Villa are anticipated to complete the signing of Sion Suzuki from Parma. Meanwhile, Juventus are open to offers for current goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio. He has already attracted interest from Marseille and a range of other European clubs as transfer activity intensifies in the goalkeeping market.
