Now, Unai Emery is considering signing the “perfect” talent.
Emery has made contact and is considering signing the “perfect” talent, who has two Aston Villa players under contract.
Even if Emery addressed a position in January, he could still desire more.
Matty Cash was the only specialist option available when Unai Emery and Aston Villa entered the January transfer window looking to add a right-back. The idea was to locate a substitute who could provide the Polish defender competition as well as cover.
Villa managed to sign teenage player Kosta Nedeljkovic from Red Star Belgrade, who will remain on loan in the Serbian capital until the conclusion of the current campaign before joining Emery’s team in the summer.
Nedeljkovic’s issue is that, despite only making 18 first-team appearances for Red Star so far, he still lacks experience. Because of this, there could be concerns about his readiness to start seeing significant Premier League action as early as next season, which might force Villa to turn to Denzel Dumfries, a more seasoned short-term alternative.
Aston Villa contacts over the transfer to Dumfries
Villa has apparently gotten in touch with Dumfries’ agency, according to FC Inter News, as they ‘tested the waters with the agents’ to talk about a possible summer transfer. Emery is already considering his team’s makeup for the upcoming campaign, however it is unknown if his interest will “become serious or fade away”.
Importantly, Dumfries’ contract expires in eighteen months, and there is now “no dialogue” between the Serie A leaders and Wasserman, his agency, who also represents Tyrone Mings and Clement Lenglet of Villa.
Though Inter still consider Dumfries a key player, they are unwilling to give him the type of compensation he is requesting, and unless things change, they intend to let him go this summer to avoid losing him in the last year of his contract.
The Dutchman had previously attracted the attention of Bayern Munich, but after acquiring Sacha Boey from Galatasaray last month, they are no longer in need of a right-back; Erik ten Hag is eager to bring him to Manchester United. Inter hopes to spark a bidding battle, therefore the announcement of Villa’s offer will come as a relief.
Villa might see Dumfries as a “ideal” signing.
Speaking highly of Dumfries, retired fellow countryman Rafael van der Vaart described him as the best player on the Netherlands national squad, which also includes Cody Gakpo, Frenkie de Jong, and Virgil van Dijk.
“Dumfries is our big star,” he declared. He participates in every aspect of the game, making him our greatest player right now. He moves about a lot. an exceptionally talented player. His touches are also excellent, which wasn’t always the case. The perfect full-back, he is.”
This season at San Siro, Dumfries has undoubtedly been Simone Inzaghi’s “ideal” choice. According to the underlying stats, he ranks sixth in the league among creative players, as seen in the table above, with colleague Federico Dimarco ranking similarly high.
