Aston Villa's head coach, Unai Emery, is focused on bolstering the team's right-back options for the upcoming season, with Real Sociedad's Jon Aramburu emerging as a key target. The 22-year-old Venezuelan full-back has impressed during his breakout season, filling in after an ACL injury to a regular starter. His versatility allows him to play across the backline, catching the attention of several European clubs, including Newcastle and Real Madrid. However, Villa is reportedly leading the chase, although acquiring him may be challenging due to Sociedad’s firm position after Aramburu's contract extension until 2030.
Aramburu has enjoyed a breakout campaign, stepping up after regular starter Hamari Traore suffered a season-ending ACL injury.
Despite interest from other clubs, Villa appear to be leading the race, preparing to make the first concrete offer for Aramburu.
Sociedad are likely to demand a significantly higher fee, as the defender recently signed a contract extension that keeps him tied to the club until 2030.
The Villa boss is eager to ensure he has enough cover for a long and gruelling campaign as they strengthen their squad.
