Aston Villa are reportedly only a step away from signing Inter and Juventus target Mario Hermoso ahead of the summer.

The 28-year-old Spaniard has less than two months left on his contract with Atletico Madrid and isn’t set to sign a new deal, ready to try out a new adventure in the summer. In recent months, he’s been heavily linked with a move to various Serie A sides including the Nerazzurri and Bianconeri.

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are on track to secure a spot in the Champions League and are gearing up for an important summer as they look to bolster the squad ahead of the new campaign, eyeing a whole host of players across Europe.

Aston Villa to beat Inter and Juventus

AS via TMW details how Aston Villa have been in close contact with Hermoso for a while now and are just a step away from agreeing a long-term deal with the 28-year-old, who is interested by the project and working with Emery.

Inter and Juventus had been keeping an eye on the Spaniard but will now have to look elsewhere for a new full back in the summer.
