Emiliano Martinez may have finished on the losing side of the World Cup final, but his performance in Argentina's defeat to Spain has only intensified Juventus supporters' demands to bring him to Turin, as reported by [Football Italia](https://football-italia.net/go-lock-him-up-juventus-fans-clamour-martinez/).
The Aston Villa goalkeeper — known as "Dibu" — was among the few Argentines to emerge with credit from the final, producing a string of saves to keep his side in a game they were largely second best in. One supporter highlighted the numbers: Martinez made the most touches of any Argentina player, registered 11 saves and prevented 1.76 of 2.76 expected goals on target conceded. "A must sign for Juventus!" they wrote.
Others were more blunt. "Juventus. Please go lock up Emi Martinez," posted one fan, while another simply urged: "Dibu Martinez come to Juventus." Not everyone was entirely carried away — one noted the Argentine "kit is like a Superman costume for him" but added they would "be happy to have him at Juve if it were to materialize."
