Juventus unwilling to pay Aston Villa's shockingly low Martinez asking price

Juventus are reportedly unwilling to pay Aston Villa's surprisingly low asking price for goalkeeper Emi Martinez.

The Italian giants are on the hunt for a new goalkeeper and are understood to have made the 33-year-old their priority target.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Aston Villa have set their asking price at €10m plus add-ons for Martinez, but even that is too steep for Juventus.

Failure to qualify for Champions League football and the wider financial state of Italian football have had a serious impact on the club.

Juventus are still keen on Martinez, with the player also interesting in trying his hand in the Serie A, but the outlay for a player who will turn 34 in September is deemed too much.

It’s understood that Martinez will also demand wages of around €5m.
