Juventus target Premier League goalkeepers Emi Martinez and Guglielmo Vicario
Juventus are exploring summer moves for Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez and Tottenham Hotspur’s Guglielmo Vicario after being rebuffed in their pursuit of Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.
The Turin outfit have prioritised signing a new number one ahead of the upcoming Serie A campaign.
Initial plans to launch an ambitious bid for Alisson were quickly abandoned after Liverpool made it clear they intend to keep the Brazilian international.
Martinez emerges as prime target
Focus has now shifted to Villa Park, where Martinez is highly regarded for possessing the commanding personality desired by the Juventus hierarchy.
The 33-year-old was heavily linked with Manchester United last summer but opted to remain in the West Midlands, subsequently guiding his team to Europa League glory last month.
It remains to be seen whether Aston Villa will entertain offers for the Argentine World Cup winner, who currently has three years remaining on his contract.
Vicario offers alternative option
Should a move for Martinez fail to materialise, the Italian giants are simultaneously monitoring Vicario’s situation in north London.
The Tottenham shot-stopper’s future has been the subject of intense speculation recently, drawing interest from several clubs including Serie A champions Inter Milan.
His domestic campaign ended prematurely due to injury, allowing deputy Antonin Kinsky to impress between the posts during his absence.
Kolo Muani return on the cards
Alongside their defensive rebuild, Juventus are also engaged in negotiations to secure the return of Paris St-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani.
The France forward endured a dismal loan spell at Tottenham last season, which ultimately cost him a place in his national squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Despite an initial gap in valuation between the two clubs, there is growing optimism in Italy that an agreement can be reached for the Parisian attacker.
He previously spent the second half of the 2024-25 season on loan in Turin and had hoped to make the move permanent last summer before a deal collapsed.
