Zoff excited by Martinez, Everton circle Openda

Zoff says yes to Martinez Juventus legend Dino Zoff has given his blessing to the Emiliano Martinez rumours. "He excites me," Zoff told reporters when asked about the Aston Villa goalkeeper [(1)](https://www.soccernews.com/juventus-legend-zoff-excited-by-martinez-rumours/400674).

The 82-year-old does not care about style. "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" (1).

Martinez would walk into a competition with Michele Di Gregorio and Mattia Perin for the number one spot, and Zoff clearly thinks he wins it.

Everton want Openda on loan Everton are working on a loan-to-buy deal for Lois Openda [(2)](https://www.footballinsider247.com/everton/transfers/sources-everton-line-up-lois-openda-loan-to-buy-deal-as-juventus-offer-made). David Moyes wants the Belgian striker as Juventus push to offload him after a dismal season.

Leeds United and Coventry City have also been linked, but Everton appear to be moving most seriously (2). Openda's time in Turin is over. The club just needs someone to take him.

No Fluminense move for Arthur Arthur is heading back to Turin, and Fluminense do not want him. The Brazilian club has publicly denied any interest in the Juventus midfielder after his loan at local rivals Grêmio ends on June 30 [(3)](https://www.netflu.com.br/fluminense-nao-pretende-se-movimentar-por-volante-que-deixou-o-gremio).

Another problem Juve need to solve.
