According to reports, Aston Villa is willing to let go of Matty Cash in light of AC Milan’s transfer interest.
The 26-year-old has been a vital component of the Lions squad since arriving at Villa Park in 2020.
Last season, he played in 29 Premier League games as the Midlands team qualified for the Champions League by finishing fourth, one spot ahead of Tottenham Hotspur.
Along with starting seven of the twelve Europa Conference League games, the Poland international scored a goal.
Despite the right-back’s current deal expiring in 2027, sources indicate Villa is willing to let him go.
The Premier League team is seeking a hefty £25.5 million fee, but AC Milan is eager to sign Cash, according to Corriere dello Sport (print edition, June 5, page 26).
The Rossoneri had a disappointing 2023–24 season, finishing 19 points behind Inter in the Serie A standings.
With Stefano Pioli stepping down from his position after five years, Milan’s manager Paulo Fonseca is set to take over.
They are reportedly making a right-back their primary goal as they get ready for a big summer transfer window.
Although they believe Cash to be the best choice, they probably won’t be able to match the Lions’ asking price for the player.
