Juventus focus on Vicario and Suzuki as goalkeeping options narrow

Juventus communicated to Aston Villa that the pursuit of Dibu Martinez has been abandoned, shifting focus to goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and Japan's Zion Suzuki, despite the latter's high asking price. Luciano Spalletti acknowledged the interest after a friendly match, adding that the club must investigate why Martinez fell out of favor. Recent reports suggest Juventus have also been offered Noah Atubolu, currently frozen out after refusing a contract extension with Freiburg.

Additional secondary options include Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and Lucas Chevalier, should PSG acquire Parma star. Contacts have been made with Anatoliy Trubin, who could leave Benfica, but his fee tops €30 million. Financial prudence is emphasized after substantial spending on the team's attacking line.
