Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez: Juventus hold fresh meeting for keeper

Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez: Juventus hold fresh meeting for keeper Serie A side Juventus remain in the hunt to sign a new goalkeeper and have, so far, struggled to make progress in any moves so far. But this hasn’t stopped them from keeping the pressure on regarding a move for Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez. The Argentine is currently playing at the World Cup, with Argentina having gone past Egypt last night. The keeper has been keen on a move to Turin but Aston Villa’s demands haven’t reduced. Sky Italia reported earlier today that a meeting was set between new Juve sporting director Ricky Massara and Martinez’s agents over a transfer. The Old Lady wanted to assess the financials of the move before moving forward with discussions with the Villans. Now, SportItalia claim that the meeting has taken place already and he remains Juve’s first choice target, with Guglielmo Vicario the alternative. Juve shouldn’t waste time It feels like the financials of a move for Martinez have constantly been largely difficult. That has been holding up a deal constantly and the Villans are in no pressure to sell the player either. That is why Juve shouldn’t waste too much time and look to move on soon. Kaustubh Pandey – GIFN
