Premier League
Aston Villa has set an ambitious goal to reinforce its midfield for the upcoming season: Rodrigo De Paul, as reported by Todo Fichajes. The midfielder from Atlético de Madrid is now one of the main priorities for the English club, which aims to take advantage of his contractual situation to try to bring the World Cup champion to Birmingham. Unai Emery wants strength, character, and experience in his team to face the demanding 2025/26 season, and the Argentine possesses all those qualities.
Since his arrival in La Liga, the former Udinese player has been a key piece in Diego Simeone's puzzle. His combative profile and ability to break lines from the center of the field have made him a regular name both in the Atlético starting eleven and in the Argentine national team. At 30 years old, De Paul has made over 170 appearances with Atlético, being fundamental in winning the 2022 World Cup and the last two Copa Americas with the albiceleste.

However, his contract with the rojiblanco club is about to expire, catching the attention of several European teams. Aston Villa, aiming to establish itself among the Premier League elites and compete for European spots, is willing to swiftly move for the Argentine. The coaching staff believes that his arrival would significantly raise the squad's competitive level.
Meanwhile, the club is also pursuing other names like Sverre Nypan, but the De Paul option would represent an immediate qualitative leap. The ball is now in Atlético's court, as they must decide whether to open the door to one of their key players or risk losing him without compensation. Will Villa Park be the new home for the Argentine warrior?
