"Martinez is staying with us; we have absolutely no intention of letting him leave this summer. The team needs his dedication and extensive experience, as he is a crucial element of our project for next season," commented Aston Villa's Football Director, Damian Vidagany.

Consequently, Juventus has reportedly activated Plan B, turning their attention to Tottenham's Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who has lost his starting spot under Roberto De Zerbi. Inter and Napoli had also shown interest in him.
