AC Milan and Aston Villa have been in talks over Polish right-back Matty Cash but the request from the Premier League side could be too high.
As reported by Sky Sport Italia (via Milan News), the Rossoneri are exploring a variety of options when it comes to the right-back position and some of them are in the Premier League.
The most likely signing right now seems to be Tottenham’s Emerson Royal, but Milan have contacted Aston Villa to find out how much money they want for Cash.
Unfortunately, the response of €30m could put the brakes on the deal as that is more than Milan want to spend on a position where they are seeking quality depth, rather than an automatic starter.
Given Milan are expected to reach a €20m deal with Tottenham for Emerson Royal soon, it seems unlikely that they will follow up on this interest in the Pole.
It is not clear whether Cash himself would be keen on the move or not. The fact that Villa are in the Champions League makes staying there a more attractive proposition, but he is being linked with a number of clubs and Villa are clearly open to selling him for the right price.
Geertruida or no-one IMAO
Aston villa is in breach of PL financial sustainability rules which is why Milan are thinking they are going to be okay with letting Matty leave for a lower figure. If I am not mistaken Aston Villa have until the end of June to resolve their financial breaches.
The issue is that many PL clubs need to make up 60-100 million in returns and players need to the go for somewhere in that 30-40 million mark in order to make up the ground.
Staying at Villa a more attractive proposition ?! Will the player agree with you on that? Anyway I don’t think a fullback of his quality is not what Milan should pay 30m for
Well, he is British, lived and played there his whole life, plays for team where he has solid place in squad, good salary, plays in Champions League and just finished Premier League season 4th place. He might just simply like it there and like other Brits prefer to stay there.
Good points. Almost forgot he’s actually born and raised in England
