  • Milan long-time admirers of Villa's Cash
  • Serie A side make contact with Emery's team
  • £30m asking price likely to be stumbling block
  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    The Athletic claim the Serie A side have had a 'long-standing' interest in the right-back, but the Premier League side's price tag is likely to prove a 'stumbling block'. Villa would prefer to hold onto the 26-year-old and are unlikely to entertain lower bids for him this summer.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Villa are in a financial pickle, however. Unai Emery's side reportedly need to make a 'notable' player sale before the end of June to remain compliant with the Premier Leagues profit and sustainability rules. Cash could be one such big-money exit, along with striker Jhon Duran, midfielder Douglas Luiz, and defender Diego Carlos. If they don't sell this month, a points deduction could head their way.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Since Cash joined Villa from Nottingham Forest for £16m ($20.5m) in September 2020, he has gone onto make 142 appearances for the club, scoring nine times and bagging 10 assists. In that time, they have gone from Premier League relegation strugglers to the Champions League. Incidentally, his contract at the Villans runs until 2027.
