The Serie A giants are looking to bring in a new goalkeeper for the 2026/27 campaign and Martinez has emerged as an option due to his consistency for both club and country.
The 33-year-old played a vital role in Villa’s UEFA Europa League title win back in May and he remains crucial to Argentina’s trophy defence chances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup this summer.Profimedia
Previous reports from Sky Sport Italia, claimed Villa had set an asking price at €10M plus add-ons for Martinez, but that was viewed as too much for Juventus’ current transfer budget.
With Juventus missing out on the cash boost of Champions League qualification at the end of 2025/26, they have to be cautious in the transfer market and Villa could now walk away from any deal.
Unai Emery has never prioritised selling Martinize as the Argentine is under contract at Villa Park until 2029 and remains as his No.1 ahead of Dutch international Marco Bizot.
Villa repelled interest in the former Arsenal shot stopper from Manchester United last summer, and they look set to do the same again, as per an update from local outlet Birmingham World.
Emery would only consider a sale if the minimum asking price was met, but his preference is not to encourage a change in goal for next season.
Villa have been quiet on the transfer front themselves so far this summer, but Emery is expected to dip into the market after the World Cup, following his own UCL financial boost ahead of the new campaign.
