Aston Villa are on the verge of securing a deal for Atletico Madrid defender Mario Hermoso, according to reports. The 25-year-old’s contract is set to expire at the end of next month.
Spanish publication AS has revealed that Hermoso is close to becoming a new Aston Villa player. The allure of the Premier League, as well as the presence of fellow Spaniards Unai Emery, Monchi, Pau Torres, and Alex Moreno at the club, has attracted the defender.
These factors, along with the financial aspect, are believed to be tipping the balance in Villa’s favor. Currently sitting in fourth place in the Premier League, seven points ahead of Manchester United with a game in hand, Villa also have the Conference semifinals to contend with. They will need to overturn a 2-4 deficit from the first leg against Olympiacos.
Hermoso is eager to join the unstoppable momentum that has been created under the guidance of Villa’s head coach. The Hondarribia native is excited about the prospect of playing for the club and contributing to their success.
