» Aston Villa open talks to sign 23-year-old Juventus ace
Aston Villa have opened talks with Juventus to sign goalkeeper Nicola Leali, according to a report.
The ex-Italy international spent the 2015-16 season on loan at Serie A
claim Frosinone but could not prevent their relegation to the second
tier.
The Sun claim that Juventus are prepared to let Leali go out on loan for the fifth time in five seasons, with Villa being a possible destination.
The 23-year-old has failed to break
into the Juventus first team as current first choice keeper Gianluigi
Buffon maintains his long-term hold on the position.
Roberto Di Matteo is expected to
bring in a goalkeeping replacement for Brad Guzan this summer after the
31-year-old’s underwhelming form in the Premier League in 2015-16.
Leali featured in 33 Serie A games
this season on loan for Frosinone, conceding 59 goals and keeping seven
clean sheets as the club were relegated to Serie B after finishing 19th
in the league.
If the move does go through it would
see the 6ft 4in keeper come into a defence that shipped 76 goals last
season as Villa crashed out of the Premier League with a paltry 17
points.
In other Aston Villa news, the club have made a decision in the pursuit of a Euro 2016 star.
