According to Fotomac, Aston Villa is demonstrating a strong interest in Maxim De Cuyper and is anticipated to initiate contact and potentially make a bid before the summer transfer window opens. The Turkish publication indicates that Aston Villa, alongside West Ham United, is gearing up to start negotiations for De Cuyper, a 24-year-old left-back who is contracted with Club Brugge until 2028. De Cuyper has been an exceptional player for Club Brugge, contributing significantly to their league title and displaying his skills in the Champions League. Although Galatasaray has also expressed interest, the English clubs are perceived as more probable candidates to secure his transfer.
