He explained that Juve's new CEO Giovanni Carnevali could be key in pushing the move forward. He has a very good relationship with the agents of Aston Villa players.
"He is voting for him because he has a very good relationship with Martínez's agents, which started last year with a deal that brought Matic to Sassuolo. The agents are the same and the deal is very similar, a specimen of charisma, personality and leadership for a team that needs those attributes."
Furthermore, Di Marzio claimed that Martínez is looking for a house in Turin. He also sees Juve as the final destination of his career.

Di Marzio also revealed that the situation could prove to be a dilemma for Aston Villa. They may demand a higher price and ruin their relationship with the player and his agents. Alternatively they could let him go on the cheap and perhaps even give him a golden goodbye as a bonus.
