Dino Zoff expresses excitement at the possibility of Emiliano Martinez joining Juventus, highlighting his impressive performances at Aston Villa and potential benefits for the club.


Former Juventus goalkeeper Dino Zoff is enthusiastic about the rumors linking the Juventus club with Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez. The Argentine goalkeeper was linked to Juventus after contributing to the Villans' victory in the Europa League, who beat Sevilla in the final. Martinez, in fact, had previously been linked to Manchester United, but in the end he decided to stay at Aston Villa. Since joining the Villans from Arsenal in 2020, only Ederson (70), Alisson (69), David Raya (68) and Jordan Pickford (61) have recorded more clean sheets than Martinez (60) in the Premier League. Furthermore, the 33-year-old Argentine has made the second most saves (625) and saved the most penalties (5) in this period. Martinez's contract with Aston Villa expires in June 2029, but there is talk of a possible transfer to Juventus. Zoff believes it would be an excellent move for the Bianconeri, although there are some doubts about the goalkeeper's behaviour. "At Juventus the result counts and the players can do what they want on the pitch, as long as they contribute to the cause," Zoff told Tuttosport. "It doesn't matter if a goalkeeper is eccentric or shy: the important thing is that he knows how to save well. And the Argentine has shown that he knows how to do it both in the Premier League and with his national team. It makes me enthusiastic." Juventus' starting goalkeeper this season has been Michele Di Gregorio, who has kept 13 clean sheets in 30 league games. Mattia Perin, on the other hand, played 9 Serie A matches, but had difficulty guaranteeing reliable performances.
