Aston Villa are one of the clubs in the race to sign Real Sociedad’s Brais Méndez in the summer window.
That’s according to AS, who say Aston Villa will ‘fight’ with other clubs to try and secure the 27-year-old’s services.
The attacking midfielder scored eight goals and registered nine assists from 44 games last season. AS say his performances have caught the attention of Aston Villa, Juventus, AS Roma and Napoli.
Two days ago, Unai Emery said, quite bluntly, that Aston Villa haven’t showed interest in Real Sociedad’s Mikel Merino or any other La Real player since he arrived at Villa Park in 2022.
AS haven’t taken this into account and went ahead anyway. Given Emery’s words, it looks like the Villans have been thrown in for drama, perhaps to put pressure on other interested clubs.
