Juventus have decided to part ways with Michele Di Gregorio and are already scouring the market for potential replacements. According to Calciomercato, Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has emerged as a top candidate to replace the Italian star.<\/span><\/p>\n Di Gregorio had a disappointing season. At one point, he even lost his starting berth to Mattia Perin, failing to convince manager Luciano Spalletti to keep him between the sticks next term. Therefore, Juventus have put him on the chopping block and will listen to offers for the former Monza ace.<\/span><\/p>\n Mile Svilar had been the club\u2019s dream signing, only for Roma to turn down their substantial \u20ac42 million bid. Gian Piero Gasperini has no intention of offloading his starting keeper, especially now that the Giallorossi are preparing for their first Champions League appearance in nearly a decade.<\/span><\/p>\n With Roma reluctant to discuss Svilar\u2019s sale, Juventus have switched their attention to Martinez.<\/span><\/p>\n Currently away on World Cup duty with Argentina, Martinez continues to impress on the grandest stage. Lionel Scaloni\u2019s men have qualified for the round of 16, with the Villa stalwart conceding just three goals in the tournament so far.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to his brilliant form for Argentina, Martinez has been nothing short of impressive for Villa. His heroics in goal helped Unai Emery\u2019s side win the Europa League trophy last season and secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.<\/span><\/p>\n However, Martinez\u2019s contract at Villa Park runs until 2029, with Villa slapping a \u20ac15 million price tag on their star. Juventus have already deemed Villa\u2019s demands excessive, knowing the Argentine will turn 34 in September. Still, he\u2019d be a superb short-term option for the Bianconeri.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n \t<\/p>\n<\/div>\nOur take on Juventus & Martinez<\/strong><\/h2>\n
