Aston Villa's Bold Move: Making an Offer for Juventus Fullback Ansser Sadiq

According to Calciomercato, the Midlands club had their sights set on the defender as a top target during the summer transfer window.

However, Villa were unable to put in a bid that enticed Juventus to sell their star.

Villa had a €35 million bid turned down in the summer, which prompted them to look elsewhere.

The source quotes Juventus’ stance around certain players as follows: “(Juventus have) built high walls around their prized assets, rejecting the attempts of the reigning European giants.”

Villa instead moved for Chelsea’s left-back Ian Maatsen, who was on loan at Borussia Dortmund last term.
