Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid have been linked with a move for 31-year-old Getafe midfielder Luis Milla, who will cost around €30 million.
Luis Milla has been impressive this season, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for both teams. The experienced Spanish midfielder is available for a fee of €30 million, and he could prove to be a bargain at that price.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Aston Villa are willing to offer €25 million in order to get the deal done. The Villans have the financial resources to pay the €30 million asking price, and it will be interesting to see if they can negotiate a more reasonable deal.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid are keen on the player as well, and they will be hoping to get the deal done. The 31-year-old is well settled in La Liga, and he could make an instant impact at the capital club.
It will be interesting to see if he decides to continue in La Liga or try to move abroad. Moving to the Premier League could be an exciting challenge for him at this stage of his career. This could be his final opportunity to join a top Premier League club.
Milla could fancy a move
Aston Villa have an ambitious project and a talented squad. They have a quality manager like Unai Emery, who has an excellent reputation in Spanish football. It would not be a surprise if the 31-year-old midfielder is attracted to the idea of working with him. It remains to be seen whether Aston Villa can secure an agreement with his club.
There is no significant gap in valuation between the two clubs, and it is fair to assume that an agreement is likely to be reached eventually. Aston Villa will certainly hope that the midfielder is willing to join them. If he decides to opt for Atletico Madrid, it will be a huge blow for the West Midlands outfit.
Finances will not be an issue in this deal, and the transfer will eventually come down to the wishes of the player. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
