Juventus Pursue Martinez, Vicario as Goalkeeper Targets

Juventus are pursuing a new goalkeeper with interest in Aston Villa's Emi Martinez and Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario. The Italian giants initially targeted Liverpool's Alisson, but he decided to stay. Martinez has the personality profile Juventus seeks and previously attracted Manchester United interest last summer while helping Villa win the Europa League.

The 33-year-old Martinez has three years remaining on his Villa contract, making his future uncertain. Meanwhile, Tottenham's Vicario missed the end of the season through injury, with Antonin Kinsky impressing in his absence. Vicario has also drawn interest from Inter Milan, creating multiple suitors for the shot-stopper.

Juventus are simultaneously working to re-sign Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain, who had a poor loan spell at Tottenham this season. Initial discussions show a valuation gap, but an agreement appears reachable. The France forward wanted to rejoin Juventus last summer but ended up at Tottenham instead.
