Aston Villa, Manchester United begin testing waters for Raoul Bellanova

Aston Villa and Manchester United have reportedly been linked with a move for the Torino wide player Raoul Bellanova.

According to a report by Italian outlet Inter Live, Aston Villa and Manchester United have begun testing the waters for the versatile 23-year-old. He has been linked with Chelsea as well, and it will be interesting to see where the Torino full-back ends up.

Bellanova is versatile enough to operate as a right-sided full-back as well as a winger. He will add goals and creativity to the Aston Villa and Manchester United attack if they can secure his services.

The Italian has proven himself in Serie A, and he is certainly good enough for the Premier League. Aston Villa and Manchester United could use a quality right-back next season, and the 23-year-old has emerged as a target. Aston Villa need more quality in that area, and Raoul Bellanova could battle it out with Matty Cash for the starting spot.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have Aaron Wan-Bissaka at their disposal. But the former Crystal Palace star has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford. The Red Devils will have to replace him adequately and Bellanova could be a quality alternative.

The Italian full-back is certainly better than Wan-Bissaka going forward, and he could add a new dimension to the Manchester United attack. The defender is valued at €30 million and it is fair to assume that Aston Villa and Manchester United certainly have the financial muscle to pay up.

Chelsea remain keen on Raoul Bellanova

Meanwhile, Chelsea are keeping tabs on his situation as well, and it will be interesting to see if they can win the race for his signature. The Blues need to bring in a quality right-back, especially with the number of injury problems Reece James has had in recent seasons.

That said, they already have someone like Malo Gusto at their disposal. Trevoh Chalobah can operate as a makeshift right-back as well. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea decide to get rid of some of their fringe players before signing Raoul Bellanova.

All three clubs can afford the reported €30 million asking price, and the 23-year-old could prove to be a bargain for them in the long term. The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be an exciting option for the young full-back, and the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United are some of the biggest clubs in the world.

They could offer Raoul Bellanova a lucrative contract and the platform to showcase his qualities in English football. Chelsea and Manchester United have the resources and talent to compete for trophies in the concerns as well. It will be interesting to see where the 23-year-old versatile full-back ends up eventually.
