Vidagany addressed Martinez's future while speaking to 365Scores, rejecting reports that the goalkeeper could be on his way to Turin. He stressed that Villa's position remains unchanged despite ongoing speculation.

"Dibu's future is secure. He's staying with us, and we have no intention of letting him go this summer. The team needs his commitment and his vast experience, and he's a very important asset in our project for next season," he explained.

"All the media reports about his possible departure to Juventus don't reflect the club's true position. Martínez is a very important player for us, and we expect him to continue to perform exceptionally well alongside his teammates."

Vidagany's comments contradict a Sky Italia report which claimed Martinez had agreed a three-year contract until 2029 with Juventus. Those reports also suggested the former Arsenal goalkeeper was willing to reduce his salary to complete the move. However, Villa's public stance indicates they are not considering a sale, despite continued interest from the Serie A club.

With Villa making their position clear, Juventus could be forced to pursue other goalkeeping targets if they remain in the market for a new No. 1. For Villa, Martinez is expected to remain a key part of Emery's squad heading into the new Premier League season, with the club determined to retain one of its most experienced players.
