Juventus legend Zoff excited by Martinez rumours
Former Juventus goalkeeper Dino Zoff is excited by rumours linking the club with Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez.
The Argentina shot-stopper was linked with a move to Manchester United ahead of the 2025-26 season, but stayed with Villa and helped them win the Europa League.
The 33 year-old's contract with Villa expires in June 2029, but has been linked with a switch to Juventus.
Zoff believes the move would be good for the Italian club, despite concerns around the goalkeeper's antics.
"At Juve, the result counts and players are free to do what they want on the pitch as long as they contribute to the cause," Zoff said.
"It doesn't matter if a goalkeeper is eccentric or shy: as long as he knows how to save as God commands.
"And the Argentine has demonstrated he knows how to do it in the Premier League and for his national team. He excites me."
Michele Di Gregorio was Juve's first-choice goalkeeper this season, keeping 13 clean sheets in 30 Serie A games.
Mattia Perin also featured in nine league games for the Bianconeri, but largely struggled between the sticks.
