Martinez Deal Collapses: Villa Stands Firm on Price
17 Aug
Summary
- Juventus and Aston Villa failed to agree on Emi Martinez's transfer fee.
- Aston Villa demands 10 million euros, Juventus offered 7 million plus add-ons.
- Juventus now pursuing Guglielmo Vicario as a goalkeeping alternative.
Juventus and Aston Villa have once again failed to reach an agreement regarding the transfer of goalkeeper Emi Martinez. The primary obstacle remains the significant difference between Aston Villa's asking price and Juventus's offered amount. Despite Juventus viewing Martinez as one of the world's best, including his recent World Cup final performance, negotiations have collapsed.
Aston Villa is insistent on receiving a fixed fee of 10 million euros, with no additional bonuses. Juventus's counter-offer of 7 million euros plus 3 million euros in add-ons did not meet Villa's demands. This failed negotiation has prompted Juventus to pivot their focus, identifying Guglielmo Vicario as their preferred alternative in the ongoing search for a new number one.
