Sevilla are ‘preparing to finalise’ the sale of Marcos Acuña with a move to Aston Villa in the January transfer window ‘taking shape’.
That’s according to Fichajes, who say that Aston Villa will re-ignite their interest in the Argentine full-back and could sign him early in the January window.
They were keen on Acuña in the summer, and it seems like a move was going to happen but for various reasons, including the player picking up an injury, the transfer failed.
Aston Villa have ‘maintained a constant interest’ in the player, with manager Unai Emery trusting in his potential and both he and his club are ‘willing to shell out’ €15m to secure his signature.
An agreement ‘seems to be advanced’ and could be one of the first movements of the January window when it opens.
Acuña, for his part, has expressed his desire for a change of scenery in the past and ‘seems excited’ at the prospect of joining Aston Villa.
He’s ready for a new challenge in the Premier League and talks appear to be moving forward to get him to Villa Park.
