The £30m transfer offload is a Stumbling block

Villa full-back Matty Cash is the subject of serious interest from Milan as the Italian giants seek to improve the right side of defence.

An official enquiry has already been made for Cash, who was a regular starter as Villa earned a remarkable fourth-placed Premier League finish to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Ezri Konsa was and always will be ahead of Cash in the pecking order but the Villa number two’s versatility was a huge helping hand. Unai Emery could rotate the two players between competitions or even push Cash further up the field as a right midfielder.

It’s stated that Villa have responded to Milan’s enquiry, demanding £30 million (€35.6 million) to consider a sale. The Italian side, said to be taken aback by that figure, see the valuation as a stumbling block. Whittling down the fee is a requirement if Milan are to lodge an official offer.

This is due to the club’s preference to not spend big on one player, but rather spread out transfer funds. The Athletic states Milan often enquire about a large pool of players and assess their clubs’ respective valuations before proceeding.
