Juventus pursues goalkeepers Martínez, Suzuki and striker Kolo Muani
Juventus confirmed that it is targeting several players in the post‑World Cup 2026 market. Manager Luciano Spalletti said the club wants Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez, who is under contract with Aston Villa until 2029; Villa has asked for a release fee of €10‑15 million. The club is also monitoring Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki of Parma, whose market value is estimated at €28‑30 million, with Paris Saint‑Germain also reported as a rival bidder. In attack, Juventus aim to bring in French striker Randal Kolo Muani from PSG, potentially via a loan with an option or obligation to purchase, after arranging a loan of Openda to Lyon to free salary space. Additional options include Argentine forward Mastantuono of Real Madrid as an emergency strike‑partner. All negotiations are ongoing with Juventus seeking to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.
