Juventus make new contact with Aston Villa for Emi Martinez

Serie A side Juventus remain in the hunt for a new goalkeeper. They have had several options on the table but they continue to make in-roads in a move for Aston Villaโ€™s Emi Martinez.

The Argentine is playing at the World Cup for his national team but the Italian press has always felt his future could be up in the air. They believe he is happy to join Juve too.

TuttoJuveโ€™s Mirko di Natale reports the Old Ladyโ€™s attempts havenโ€™t stopped. They have made new contact with Aston Villa for his possible signature this week.

Efforts are underway to make sure that the Villansโ€™ price tag reduces but it is still at over โ‚ฌ10 million. That is where it is at but attempts could still keep going, with Tottenhamโ€™s Guglielmo Vicario still very much an option.

Meanwhile, Juve could also soon speak to Michele Di Gregorioโ€™s agent to sort out his future.

Villa under no pressure

A lot of this seems agent driven as the English media has never spoken in detail about Martinezโ€™s future. This suggests Aston Villa are quite calm and are underย  no pressure to execute Martinezโ€™s sale.
