"Aston Villa have taken a decisive step towards signing Fiorentina star Moise Kean, identifying the prolific Italian striker as their preferred replacement for AS Roma-bound Donyell Malen, according to Calciomercato. With Malen having already reached an agreement with Roma, Unai Emery and the Villa hierarchy have moved swiftly to secure a new attacking focal point before the January window closes."
"The Italian international signed a new contract in August, tying him to Fiorentina until 2029, but crucially, his deal includes a 62 million (54m) release clause. With interest in strikers expected to define the January market, Kean's situation has quickly become one to watch. Aston Villa have already made a decisive concrete approach, signalling their intention to activate talks with Fiorentina and the player's representatives."
Aston Villa have identified Moise Kean as their preferred replacement after Donyell Malen agreed a move to AS Roma. Kean, 25, scored 25 goals in 44 appearances last season and signed a new contract with Fiorentina in August that runs until 2029 and contains a €62 million release clause. Villa have made a concrete approach to open talks with Fiorentina and the player's representatives. Unai Emery wants greater attacking depth to compete in the Premier League, domestic cups, and Europe, and views Kean as a ready-made centre-forward who can start or rotate alongside Ollie Watkins. Tammy Abraham remains an alternate target.
