AdminAston Villa have stepped up their efforts to sign a highly rated goalkeeper after his proposed move to Paris Saint-Germain collapsed.
The Premier League club have already made contact with his current club and representatives as they look to take advantage of the situation and match PSG’s proposal, with negotiations now underway.
The player in question is Parma and Japan international goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, who has emerged as one of Europe’s most promising young goalkeepers.
Villa are understood to be ready to offer a package in excess of €30 million as they attempt to secure his signature.
Suzuki has attracted considerable attention following his performances in Italy, with his development continuing to make him an attractive option for clubs looking to invest in a goalkeeper with long-term potential.
The collapse of the proposed PSG move has seemingly opened the door for Aston Villa, who are now exploring whether they can reach an agreement with Parma.
Unai Emery’s side are believed to be keen to move quickly, although negotiations remain ongoing and there is still work to be done before any deal can be considered close.
For Villa, the opportunity to bring in a goalkeeper of Suzuki’s potential could represent another important piece of business as they continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
The coming days are expected to provide a clearer indication of whether Villa can win the race for his signature, with talks between the clubs continuing.
