Emery ‘asks’ Aston Villa for specific signing – Manager ‘awaits’ arrival at Villa Park

For the past few weeks, reports from Spain have stated Aston Villa are in the picture for Real Madrid’s Nacho.

On Monday, Mundo Deporitvo explained Unai Emery is leading the Villans’ pursuit to sign the 32-year-old.

Fichajes.net back this claim and provide more information on Aston Villa’s chances to land the defender, who can operate across the back four.

With just over six months left on his deal, the Spaniard has seen his game time restricted after the arrival of David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger at the Bernabéu in 2021 and 2022 respectively.

Therefore, Nacho has halted renewal talks and now wants to specify what role he will have under Carlo Ancelotti. Only after having clarity on his position at Real Madrid, the player will make a decision on his future.

This is where Emery ‘awaits him’ as ‘really likes’ the centre-back. It’s claimed the former Arsenal manager ‘asks’ Aston Villa to sign Los Blancos’ defender.

Aston Villa are not the only club to have Nacho in their sights for the winter market as the report points out River Plate are closely following his situation at Real Madrid.
