Juventus walk away from Martinez as €3m gap kills the deal

Juventus have ended their pursuit of Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez, according to Fabrizio Romano, after talks collapsed over a €3m gap — Juventus offered €7m, Villa wanted €10m. Martinez had agreed personal terms on a three-year deal and was ready to force the move. The World Cup finalist remains under contract at Villa Park through 2029.
