Juventus continues its pursuit of Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez this summer, with recent reports suggesting the Premier League club might target Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki as his replacement.
According to various sources, Juve has already reached an agreement on personal terms with the 2022 World Cup winner, Martinez, who is entering the final year of his contract with Villa.
Martinez is reportedly prepared to accept a €5 million per season salary offer from the 'Old Lady'. However, the transfer fee remains a sticking point, as Aston Villa is expected to demand around €15 million for the 33-year-old goalkeeper, while Juventus hopes to secure his services for a significantly lower price.
Should the Argentine depart this summer, Villa could turn their attention to Parma's Suzuki. The Japanese international has been monitored for several months and is on a shortlist of three goalkeepers currently being considered by the club.
The 23-year-old shot-stopper has made 57 appearances for the 'Dukes' since joining from Urawa Red Diamonds in the summer of 2024. He was in excellent form before missing 16 consecutive league matches due to a broken arm.
James Trafford from Manchester City is also among the potential options for Aston Villa, should Martinez make the move to Juventus.
