"Aston Villa" in the Spotlight – R. Bentancuras © JumpStory

“Aston Villa” continues to search for reinforcement in the player market. The next task for Steven Gerrard's team is to find a defensive midfielder in the transfer market, and recently Juventus defensive midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has come into the club's sights. Daily Mail journalist Tomas Collomosse reports that “Aston Villa” has started negotiations with Juventus regarding a possible transfer. Uruguayan has played 23 matches for Juventus this season, but has recently been inconsistent. This season, R. Bentancur has three assists. It is likely that Juventus will want a hefty sum for this defensive midfielder, so it will not be easy for the clubs to reach an agreement. “Aston Villa” is also interested in Marseille defender Boubacar Kamara and Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma.
