Leeds United and Aston Villa involved in tussle for signing – Looking at €30m+ for summer deal

Leeds United, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion and West Ham United are all chasing RC Lens’ Facundo Medina.

The centre-back has impressed this season and also contributed in the attack, managing two goals and four assists from 26 matches in all competitions this season.

His performances have not gone unnoticed in England as Aston Villa, Leeds and others are in the mix to sign him in the summer.

That’s according to ASRomaLive.it, who mention the Premier League sides in a report that discuss AS Roma’s interest in the 23-year-old. His name has long been in Tiago Pinto’s notebook, and he’s also followed by Inter Milan and Fiorentina.

Lens rejected a €17m bid from an unnamed English club for the Argentina international in January, and also offered him a new deal until 2026. With this, they had initially set the player’s valuation at €30-35m in the last week of the winter market.

It’s explained the defender’s asking price will hardly drop in the summer. José Mourinho’s side will not only have to battle with the ‘wall raised by Lens’ but also face competition from Aston Villa, Brighton, Leeds and West Ham to sign Media.

That’s all the report has to say about the English clubs.
