Aston Villa Keeper Dibu Martínez Set to Stay as Juventus Interest Persists

Aston Villa’s director of football, Damian Vidagany, confirmed that Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez will remain with the club for at least the current season, dismissing media reports that he had agreed to join Juventus. Italian outlets claimed Juventus had offered €6.5 million for the 33‑year‑old, which Villa rejected and countered with a €12 million demand.

Juventus’ hierarchy, led by Giovanni Carnevale and Frederic Massara, continues to monitor Martínez and says the club will revisit the transfer after the World Cup, when the player’s focus shifts from international duties to club matters.
