Claim Aston Villa are ‘ready to make very high offer’ for defender – Villans ‘lurking with interest’

While Aston Villa spent the majority of the summer window attempting to sign a left-back from Spain in Marcos Acua, they are also said to be interested in one of his compatriots, Nahuel Molina.

The claim comes from Italy, specifically Tutto Juve, as Juventus are also interested in the Atlético Madrid defender, who returned from injury before the international break by scoring a goal on his season debut in a 7-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.

He’s widely anticipated to start again, as he did last year, with César Azpilicueta on hand to assist if needed, but Aston Villa might spoil the party.

According to the report, Unai Emery’s side is interested in the Argentine, as are Arsenal and Manchester City.
According to reports, Atlético Madrid wants to extend their star until 2029, which would be ‘crucial’ in helping them swat away big Premier League rivals like Aston Villa, who are ‘lurking with interest’.

In fact, the Villans are’ready to make a very expensive offer’ for him, though that remains to be seen given that they already have two right-backs in their roster.

These are Matty Cash and Calum Chambers, and while an ambitious club like Aston Villa may improve on both of them with someone like Molina, it is unlikely.
