AS Roma are preparing for a big aggressive signing and it could come after a huge sale Aston Villa.
The exit in question is that of Matias Sule, the start of 2026 was not very good for him. Due to injuries, he contributed only one goal in Serie A.
Roma now believes that he has not developed as much as he should have. They spent €26m to sign him in 2024 and expect him to become a much more important player for them.
This has not happened, with sports witness Have covered Aston Villa's initial contact in recent weeks.
Now efforts to sell Argentina are intensifying.
Greenwood deal sought
today's Corriere Della Sera Covers the Giallorossi's plans for the summer.
They want to improve their attack and selling Sol is one way to do that. His exit would free up enough money for Roma to sign Mason Greenwood.
Corriere Della Sera confirmed Aston Villa's interest in the versatile attacker. Unai Emery's side need €40m to sign him and that is the amount that can pay off Roma's accounts with UEFA FFP.
What's more, it will give them motivation to sign Greenwood. Marseille needs to execute the sale by the end of June for its own financial reasons. To sell the Englishman, they want a fee of €50m and a bonus of €5m.
This is why Roma may be in a hurry to sell Sole. This could give Aston Villa the opportunity to finalize a move for the 23-year-old.
emery side should propose
Sole can play in various positions in attack. He can also operate in a number ten role, playing on either flank.
In the first half of the season, he showed that he could be a dangerous presence around the box. He operates in attacking areas and Emery's side rely heavily on that aspect.
This will make him an important signer. He is also at the right age and there is every possibility that he will progress.
Roma look desperate and there is a good chance that they could sell at a reduced price. Aston Villa must surely go for less than the desired €40 million.
