Aston Villa is actively working to secure a deal for Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, according to reports. The move is framed as a proactive measure by the club to prepare for the possible departure of their current first-choice goalkeeper, Emiliano Martínez. Martínez, the 33-year-old Argentina international, has been with the club for six seasons and is reportedly open to a transfer during the current window.

Juventus has re-entered negotiations for Martínez after having an initial bid rejected by Aston Villa earlier this summer. While Martínez remains under contract until 2029, the likelihood of his exit has increased as Juventus continues to explore options to bolster their goalkeeping position. In addition to Martínez, Juventus is also reportedly monitoring Ederson, who is currently playing for Fenerbahce. The situation remains fluid as Villa looks to finalize a contingency plan should their starting goalkeeper leave the Premier League side.
