Emiliano Martínez Transfer Talks Stall as Juventus Baulk at £10m Fee

Emiliano Martínez's potential transfer to Juventus has hit a snag, with the Italian club unwilling to pay Aston Villa's £10m asking price.

The Bianconeri have been searching for a new goalkeeper, and Emiliano Martínez is their top target.

Juventus are hesitant to pay the high fee, especially considering Emiliano Martínez's age and salary demands.

Emiliano Martínez, who played in Argentina's 2-0 World Cup win over Austria, is open to joining Juventus despite their failure to qualify for the Champions League.

Aston Villa are standing firm on their valuation, and it remains to be seen whether Juventus will return with an improved offer.

Gianluca Di Marzio, a transfer pundit for Sky Sport Italia, claims the fee is too steep for Juventus, who are also put off by Emiliano Martínez's £5m per season salary demands.

Emiliano Martínez has been at Aston Villa since 2020, when he joined from Arsenal for £17.4m.

He has spent most of his career in England, except for a loan spell at Getafe in Spain in 2017-18.

The 33-year-old goalkeeper will turn 34 in September, which may be a concern for Juventus.

Aston Villa are unlikely to lower their asking price, given Emiliano Martínez's importance to the team.

The transfer saga is set to continue, with Emiliano Martínez's future still uncertain.
