The Italian club has already made contact with the Argentine goalkeeper's camp, who is seen as one of the priorities to strengthen the goal for the upcoming season
While focusing all his attention on the debut of theArgentine National Team in the2026 World Cup against Algeria, Emiliano Martínez begins to emerge as a central figure in the upcoming European transfer market. In this regard, one of the suitors that has come up in recent hours is Juventus, a team that has him on their radar and has already taken the first steps to evaluate a possible signing.
According to Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specialized in the transfer market, the management of the Vecchia Signora has initiated contacts to understand the conditions of a potential operation. The conversations are in a preliminary stage, although the interest is concrete and the world champion is among the main options to strengthen the goalkeeping position.
Martínez's name gained traction after the possibility of signing Alisson Becker, the Liverpool goalkeeper, cooled down. In light of this scenario, the Italian club began to explore alternatives and identified the Mar del Plata native as a priority due to his experience, leadership, and sustained performance at the elite level of European football.
The search is also a response to a sporting decision. After an irregular season that left Juventus out of the next edition of the Champions League, the institution aims to rebuild its project and believes that bringing in a top-level goalkeeper could be an important step in that process. In this context, viable options also include the Italian Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham, and the Spanish David de Gea, currently at Fiorentina.
The Dibu is going through one of the best moments of his career. Since joining Aston Villa, he has established himself as one of the standout goalkeepers in the Premier League and has become a key player for the Argentine National Team. His cycle with the English team has already lasted six seasons, with the recent achievement of winning the Europa League being the highlight, a tournament in which he was decisive even while playing the final with a fracture in one of his fingers.

With a contract valid until mid-2028, any negotiation will require a significant investment. However, in Italy, they believe that the Argentine has the ideal characteristics to lead a new phase at the club, which is why they have already begun efforts to assess the feasibility of the operation.
