It’s been Sanson-mania today in France, with multiple reports suggesting the player is edging ever closer to a move to Aston Villa.
The Villans were said to be in ‘advanced’ negotiations with Marseille regarding the midfielder’s transfer, with reports claiming the deal could be done at around €20m.
Well, RMC Sport have information of their own on the matter, reporting Aston Villa’s official offer was ‘nearing €18m’, with the move approved by Dean Smith, who ‘wants’ Sanson at the club.
As things stand, the two clubs are still negotiating, but they are ‘close to an agreement’ that would see the 26-year-old finally get his move to England after years of rumours suggesting he could make the switch.
