Aston Villa interested in signing Real Madrid star, says Mateu Alemany

Mateu Alemany’s anticipated move to Aston Villa is gathering pace, and the former Barcelona Director of Football is reportedly eyeing a summer move for Real Madrid’s Marco Asensio. Alemany is expected to work alongside Unai Emery, who has already shown a fondness for Spanish talent during his tenure at Aston Villa.

Asensio’s current contract at Real Madrid is set to expire at the end of the season, making him a free agent in the summer. This puts Alemany and Emery in a position to potentially make a move for the talented attacking midfielder.

According to reports from Sport, Alemany’s interest in Asensio stems from his previous attempts to sign him while at Barcelona. However, despite being out of contract, the prospect of Asensio leaving Real Madrid this summer remains unlikely.

Asensio has been a key figure at Real Madrid, featuring in 32 games this season and scoring 5 goals. He has also been praised for his performances in recent weeks, helping Real Madrid to secure their 35th La Liga title.

Even if Asensio does not end up at Aston Villa, it is clear that Alemany will be looking to tap into his extensive knowledge of the Spanish market to bring in quality reinforcements for the Midlands club. With his experience and Emery’s tactical nous, Aston Villa could be a team to watch in the upcoming transfer window.
