The English translation of the text is as follows:
English 'Premiership' club sent its scouts to France to watch the young club defender Mathieu Berson.
Currently representing 'Nantes', the 24-year-old defender has long been a target of current 'Villa' coach David O'Leary, but the English team has so far hesitated to make a concrete offer.
Berson's contract with 'Nantes' still has one more year to run, but the player has already expressed his desire to extend his contract with this club.
The young Frenchman has been called up to the French U-21 team, played in the UEFA Champions League, and gained a lot of experience that many footballers of his age would envy.
Although Mathieu Berson would likely be tempted by an offer to move to England, 'Aston Villa' is currently not ready to make a specific offer but is willing to observe the player until the end of the season.
