Juventus, new offer to Aston Villa for Dibu Martinez: the figures, the gap is minimal

Juventus are pushing for the Argentine goalkeeper, with the deal one step away.

Juventus are trying to sort out the biggest transfer issue still unresolved this summer. Since the opening of the summer window, Luciano Spalletti has asked the club to bring in a new goalkeeper, one more reliable than Di Gregorio and Perin, including with the ball at his feet.

Now, after weeks of enquiries, ideas and proposed profiles, many of them falling through, they are closing in on Emiliano "Dibu" Martinez. According to The Athletic, the deal with Aston Villa is very close to being completed.

Aston Villa one step away from Suzuki

Since the transfer window closed, the Argentine goalkeeper has told Aston Villa he wants a change of scene and that he has long since reached an agreement with Juventus.

Now Villa have moved after the Zion Suzuki deal between Parma and Paris Saint Germain collapsed over his management in the coming years, including a possible loan to Juventus, and have presented the Emilian club with a new offer of 30 million plus 5 in bonuses that is about to be accepted, which is where Juventus have started hoping again for Dibu.

New offer

Suzuki's arrival in Birmingham will free up Martinez, with the initial asking price of at least €15 million dropping in recent days. According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, chief executive Carnevali and sporting director Massara submitted a new offer this morning worth €7 million up front plus €3 million in bonuses, taking the total to €10 million. Aston Villa, though, want €10 million guaranteed, with no bonuses included. The gap is small, an agreement with the player is already in place, and the deal could finally go through, to Spalletti's delight.
