GdS: Aston Villa slap €30m price tag on full-back but Milan eye discount

By Isak Möller -

AC Milan have turned their attention to the Premier League as some clubs need to offload players for financial reasons. Aston Villa are one of those sides and the Rossoneri have identified Matty Cash as a potential target. 

Technical director Geoffrey Moncada and sporting director Antonio D’Ottavio have been probing several targets in the last few months. However, as we get closer to the financial deadline on June 30, opportunities will inevitably emerge.

As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport this morning (also see photo below), Aston Villa are one of the clubs in need of cash and ironically enough, Cash could leave. We are talking about Matty Cash, of course, who plays as a full-back and has ended up on Milan’s radar.

The English side have slapped an initial price tag of €30m on the player but Milan are convinced that they can obtain a discount, all things considered. The Rossoneri also have the ability to pay the transfer fee in full, rather than using a loan formula or similar.

It remains to be seen if Moncada will make a concrete attempt in the coming weeks, but it’s a situation to keep an eye on for sure (just like the Armando Broja links).

    1. He’s not worth 30mil, but still would be an upgrade imo. He did very well in a difficult team playing in the best league of the world. A solid buy I would say, but definitely not a another theo.

    1. Yep. I’d rather take Hummels on a free than blow 1/3 of the budget on Matty Cash. A DM is the next target then a defender. If Fonseca is smart, he’ll give Barteshagi and Simic a shot.

  1. “OH you guys can pay 40 mill for a striker? You can definitely pay 30 mill Cash. “

    Double edged sword when you sign expensive players.

    1. This guy is one of their best players; definitely a fair starting price for premier league standards. I think it says we’re open to hearing offers

  2. Cash is not good enough. Guy is the same age as Calabria so no good view for growth, never got any interest from any bigger club, does not have any outstanding attributes (pace, dribbling, defending), just average player of average team in Premier League. Not even called up for Euro for Poland (and hardly no one objects it).

    Paying 30mil for him would be crazy, better get any average fullback from Serie A for ~8mil with the same result.

  3. I guess it would be too embarrassing to go back for Bellanova.

    I’ve watched a lot of Cash and he’s okay.

    How an okay full back costs more than 10m is beyond my understanding.
