The website states that while Emiliano Martínez is focusing on the World Cup with holders Argentina, he is already making transfer moves. He has indicated to Juventus that he is prepared to take a pay cut to pursue the move.
He is tempted to take a wage cut from the €9m he currently earns in England. This opens the door for Juventus to make their move.
They are planning further contact with Aston Villa in the coming days in the hope of reaching an agreement.
Meanwhile, Martínez's entourage is making it clear it wants the move. At 33, who will turn 34 in September, he sees the move as the last important step in his career.
Juventus are already close to reaching a definitive agreement with the player, but they still need an agreement with Aston Villa. The Italian side would like to sign Martínez for free or for a 'minimum fee'. It remains to be seen whether Aston Villa will accept this or not.
Currently valued at €12m
Martínez is currently valued at €12m and has three years left on his deal at Villa Park. Apart from insisting on Argentina's exit, they have no reason to approve a cheap sale.
Nevertheless, Unai Emery's side would likely want a fee that would help them secure a replacement.

Therefore, Juventus may be in a state of wishful thinking over their plans. But the matter is made a little easier by Martinez's willingness to reduce his wages.
