On Monday, LaRoma24.it reported Aston Villa are one of the clubs showing interest in AS Roma’s Leonardo Spinazzola.
The left-back’s contract expires at the end of this season and his agent Davide Lippi has already confirmed he won’t sign an extension. He could either leave this month or as a free agent next summer.
Calciomercato state the 30-year-old has several admirers in Saudi Arabia, but his desire is to continue in Europe, where Aston Villa could be an option.
It’s said the Italy international ‘has been proposed’ to Unai Emery’s side in ‘recent days’.
The report further adds the Villans wouldn’t want to ‘pay a single euro’ to the Giallorossi, given the players situation.
Spinazzola spent seven years at Juventus between 2012 and 2019, when he was mostly out on loan.
TV Play state Lippi has an excellent relationship with the Turin club and has offered his client to them.
Juve technical director Cristiano Giuntoli and their sporting director, Giovanni Manna, are focusing on signing younger players. Therefore, 30-year-old Spinazzola isn’t seen as an ideal profile.
Aston Villa aren’t mentioned in TV Play’s report. However, Juve closing the door could give Emery’s side a clear path to an agreement.
