Aston Villa confident of beating Newcastle to free agent
Another day, another new name being connected to a potential move to St James’ Park: according to sources,
Newcastle is one of three Premier League teams interested in Atletico Madrid defender Mario Hermoso, who is leaving
the team.

The Spanish center back, who is expected to depart the La Liga powerhouses on a free transfer this summer, is
reportedly drawing interest from Newcastle, according to HITC’s Graeme Bailey. However, it seems that Aston Villa is winning the race ahead of both West Ham and ourselves.
I understand why we’re searching the out-of-contract market because fellow center-back Tosin Adarabioyo is now
expected to join Chelsea and FFP is a continual consideration. Hermoso, a left-footed defender, is undoubtedly a better option than Tosin, a right-winger, as Lloyd Kelly is an impending signing.
In any case, Bailey notes that Unai Emery is optimistic about acquiring the Spaniard following his confirmation of Champions League eligibility for the 2024–2025 campaign, however recently recruited Napoli manager Antonio Conte
is equally enthusiastic.
Although he is a right-sided player, it is unclear if Newcastle is interested in the 33-year-old former Manchester City defender.
