Atlético Madrid’s Mario Hermoso has a deal expiring in June and Aston Villa are one of the clubs in the picture to sign him on a free transfer.
Earlier this week, Calciomercato stated the Villans would be in the lead if the 28-year-old were to decide to leave the La Liga side in the summer. This was mentioned when discussing Juventus and AC Milan interest in the defender.
Tutto Juve bring the latest on Aston Villa pursuit and Atlético’s plans for the centre-back.
In order to secure his services, it’s claimed Aston Villa ‘intend to enter into negotiations’ with the Atlético player.
Unai Emery’s side seem to be looking to strengthen their defence next season and the Spaniard represents an ‘attractive opportunity’ for them, mainly due to his experience and qualities.
The Turin club are also showing interest in the Atlético star and it’s said Aston Villa ‘want to mock’ them by signing the player. He’s made 36 appearances this season, managing two goals and an assist in the process.
Diego Simeone’s side appreciate Hermoso’s qualities and therefore, they are trying to tie him down to a new contract. He will have a decision to make on his future.
