Mario Hermoso has emerged as a sought-after transfer target for numerous clubs. The La Liga champion, who will soon be a free agent, is set to depart from Atletico Madrid in the upcoming summer.
With vast experience in Spain’s top-flight and the Champions League, the 28-year-old has caught the attention of several top teams. Aston Villa have reportedly engaged in discussions regarding a potential move, while Barcelona have decided against pursuing the defender.
West Ham is also in the mix, as David Moyes looks to revamp his defensive line and capitalize on Hermoso’s expertise. Villa, aiming for European competition next season, are keen on bolstering their squad depth, making the prospect of acquiring the soon-to-be free La Liga winner appealing to Unai Emery.
Newcastle United finds themselves in a race, as the Magpies are in dire need of a fresh centre-back due to the unfortunate knee injuries sustained by Sven Botman and Jamal Lascelles. These injuries will keep these key players out for an extended period. Consequently, the notion of bolstering their defense by acquiring free agent Hermoso seems to align with their needs and financial capabilities.
