Aston Villa appears to be lining up a contingency plan between the posts. Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki has emerged as a target for the club should Emiliano Martinez depart this summer, with Juventus reportedly renewing discussions with the Argentine’s representatives.
Martinez has been Villa’s undisputed first-choice keeper since arriving from Arsenal for £20 million back in September 2020. But the 33-year-old’s future at Villa Park is now genuinely uncertain.
The Juventus factor
Juventus reportedly re-initiated contact with Martinez’s representatives on June 8, 2026, signaling that their interest is more than casual window shopping.
Martinez’s contract situation has added fuel to the speculation. With his deal nearing expiration and his performances during the 2025-26 season described as inconsistent, the dynamics have shifted.
