Aston Villa and Fulham will compete with several other clubs to sign 27-year-old French full-back Anthony Caci from Bundesliga club FSV Mainz 05.
According to a report by French outlet Foot Mercato, Aston Villa and Fulham are interested in Anthony Caci. The two Premier League clubs are keen on signing a full-back in the winter transfer window. However, they will face stiff competition from well-known European outfits like Benfica, Borussia Dortmund, and Valencia.
Who is Anthony Caci?
Anthony Caci has established himself as one of the most underrated full-backs in the Bundesliga since joining FSV Mainz 05 from RC Strasbourg in July 2022. A native of Forbach, the Frenchman spent his formative years in his homeland, passing through the academies at five clubs and graduating from the youth division at RC Strasbourg.
The 27-year-old has been a regular for FSV Mainz in the last two and a half years, turning out nearly 100 times thus far while chipping in with four goals and ten assists. Meanwhile, Caci’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
European bigwigs like Benfica, Borussia Dortmund, and Valencia are keen on signing the versatile French full-back. However, Premier League clubs Aston Villa and Fulham will aim to beat the competition to his signature. Meanwhile, FSV Mainz might not be able to resist a “good offer” for him.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Aston Villa’s interest in Anthony Caci is understandable. The Villans have been scouring the market for a right-back heading into the winter transfer window, with Unai Emery keen on adding an alternative to Matty Cash to his squad. So, several candidates, including Andres Garcia, have emerged on Aston Villa’s radar, with the FSV Mainz 05 star a viable target.
As for Fulham, it is surprising that the Frenchman has emerged as a target for the West London club. Marco Silva has two right-backs in his squad, while Antonee Robinson is the undisputed first-choice left-back. However, with Robinson a target for several Premier League bigwigs, Caci might be a long-term replacement for the USMNT international.
While Aston Villa and Fulham will aim to beat the competition to Caci’s signature, the lure of SL Benfica and Borussia Dortmund might be too hard to resist. So, it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the versatile 27-year-old French full-back.
