Ruben Amorim’s tenure at Manchester United has just started off strong, with ambitious hopes to increase their squad in January’s transfer window. Unfortunately for him, however, Aston Villa might secure key targets through Unai Emery and Monchi – two experienced directors of football that has led them down an upward path since.
Villa Eyes Athletic Club’s Sancet in Transfer Move
Aston Villa are believed to be leading Athletic Club’s race for Oihan Sancet despite his EUR80m release clause, making any transfer deal highly complex and risky. Villa is expected to make an attractive offer this January that could seal Sancet’s move to Villa.
While it’s reported that Villa’s board is contemplating whether to meet the hefty release clause, strategies are being devised to facilitate the transfer. Aston Villa scouts have closely monitored Sancet’s performances this season, convinced of his potential success in the Premier League.
Villa Also Targets Manchester United Defender
Villa see this pursuit as essential to their long-term ambitions and it marks an essential step in Emery’s management of them.
Current Premier League and Champions League performances of Manchester City show that their competitive edge makes them an attractive destination for top talent.
