Aston Villa has been observing Facundo Medina for more than a year with the intention of acquiring him from RC Lens. The club aims to strengthen their defense, recognizing Medina's versatility as a valuable asset. Although Medina's contract with RC Lens was recently extended until 2028, the club's financial challenges have prompted them to consider selling players, including Medina, for an estimated price of €30-35 million. This potential transfer could help Lens alleviate their financial issues while providing Aston Villa with the defensive support they need. Medina's adaptability in various defensive roles makes him a desirable target for Aston Villa, who are also competing with other Premier League clubs, such as Newcastle United, for his acquisition.
