Juventus have always been cautious on proceeding with Emi Martinez due to his finger injury, as reported this morning. Deal not proceeding as it stands. Guglielmo Vicario a viable option for Juventus. Zion Suzuki will still join Aston Villa even if Martinez stays.🧤

Martinez offered to Chelsea following the arrival of Zion Suzuki at Villa Park. #CFC had insisted earlier in the summer they were content with their current keepers, but Martinez has presented as a late-window opportunity. Villa had told Juventus they wanted €10m with the Italian club opting for Guglielmo Vicario instead.🧤

Sorry I'll clarify in a bit more detail. Juventus wanted Suzuki on loan as a knock-on from the PSG deal. So sign-to-loan could be an option. However, Juventus also like Emi Martinez, and have done all window. Surprise if Villa sanction a late sale, but if they secure Suzuki you never know!
