Juventus balks at €10 million price for goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez

Juventus have indicated that the €10 million transfer fee plus add‑ons demanded by Aston Villa for Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez is excessive. The 34‑year‑old, who helped Argentina win the recent World Cup, is being targeted by Juventus to replace the unsettled performances of Michele Di Gregorio and Mattia Perin.

Juventus cite their limited financial capacity, worsened by the club’s failure to qualify for next season’s Champions League, as the main reason for hesitating to meet Villa’s valuation. The transfer fee, described by the club as "too high for a veteran player," remains a stumbling block in the negotiations.
