Following the conclusion of the World Cup, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is reportedly preparing to urge Aston Villa to sanction his departure for a move to Serie A side Juventus. The player, who had previously committed to waiting until the tournament in the USA, Canada, and Mexico was completed, is now returning to Europe to focus on the next chapter of his club career.
Reports indicate that Martinez has already reached an agreement on personal terms with the Italian club. Despite his significant efforts during the tournament—including a series of crucial saves—his national team, Argentina, ultimately fell 1-0 to Spain in the final following a goal by Ferran Torres.
As Martinez prepares to return to his club duties, La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests he is ready to pressure Aston Villa into finalizing the deal. Financial negotiations remain ongoing between the two clubs; while Juventus has proposed a loan arrangement with an obligation to buy totaling €6.5m, Aston Villa is reportedly seeking a fee closer to €10m to release the goalkeeper.
