Aston Villa have expressed interest in 19-year-old left-back Jorge Salinas from Racing. According to reports from AS, the club's manager Unai Emery had been weighing up the talented Spaniard as a potential addition.
Salinas has emerged as one of the most sought-after young defenders in Spain following an impressive season with Racing. His versatility allows him to operate not just on the left flank of defence, but also in central positions.
However, Aston Villa have ultimately opted for a different route to bolster their left side. The club has reached an agreement with Atletico for Matteo Ruggeri, who has become their primary acquisition for that position.
Villa's interest in Salinas was not unique. Several European clubs have been tracking the 19-year-old defender, with notable names including Barcelona, Atletico, Manchester United, Newcastle, PSG, and others keeping tabs on his progress.
