# PSG goalkeeper pursuit shifts; Lucumí and Vicario join Juve > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/martinez-transfer-to-juventus > Updated: 2026-08-18T14:39:43.000Z. Sources: 179. Developments: 30. The pursuit of Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has faced complications. Although PSG intensified interest with an improved offer of approximately €35 million to Parma, the move reportedly collapsed because Suzuki declined the transfer to avoid being a second-choice option behind Matvey Safonov. Consequently, PSG has shifted its focus toward FC Porto’s 26-year-old Portuguese international, Diogo Costa, who has an estimated release clause of €60 million. At Juventus, Jhon Lucumí has officially completed his move from Bologna. The 28-year-old Colombian center-back signed a contract until June 30, 2030, in a deal valued at approximately €19.5 million to €20 million, plus performance-related bonuses. Lucumí has already begun training at Continassa and is expected to partner with Gleison Bremer. Regarding goalkeeping, Juventus abandoned its pursuit of Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martínez due to disagreements over valuation and concerns regarding a finger fracture. The club instead secured Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan, which includes an option to purchase for approximately €10 million. Following these moves, Juventus is shifting its focus toward offensive targets such as Joshua Zirkzee and Ermedin Demirovic. ## Claims - Zion Suzuki is a 23‑year‑old Japanese goalkeeper who plays for Parma and is contracted until summer 2029.
