Villa demand more cash for Martinez, Juventus snubbed

Aston Villa have drawn a hard line on Emiliano Martínez, with club sources telling us the Argentina goalkeeper will not be allowed to leave for the €6–7 million fee that’s been floating around in the media. That price tag is a non-starter for Villa, who view Dibu as one of the world’s elite shot-stoppers and are in no hurry to sell. Juventus are sniffing around, but the Premier League side are demanding a significantly higher fee — and they’re perfectly comfortable keeping their man if the money doesn’t match their valuation.
