The latest Aston Villa transfer news as the club are thought to have had a bid approved for the Serie A winger as the January window gets underway.
Italian media state that Aston Villa and Hellas Verona have “reached an agreement” over the sale of winger Cyril Ngonge.
Since joining the Serie A team in January of last year on a free transfer, the 23-year-old has been a member of the team. Since then, his performances have drawn attention; in 17 Serie A games this season, the winger has scored five goals and provided two assists.
Unai Emery is eager to assess his offensive alternatives during this transfer window, and according to TuttoMercatoWeb, Villa has moved to acquire the player. They have submitted an offer of €10 million (£8.7 million), which Verona has’verbally approved’. The decision to move or not now rests with the player, and that is where the issue could exist.
The article also states that Ngonge, a Belgian, would love to remain in the Italian league because he is enjoying his time in Serie A and Italy. Fiorentina, who have also been connected to the player, might gain from it.
Sean Sogliano, the sports director of Verona, did not rule out selling the winger in the January transfer window when speaking before to the transfer window. He is a crucial player, each game is a test, and the difficulty will rise with each one, he stated.
“Everyone is aware of the current state of our club; while we want to protect ourselves, we also need to consider the needs from an administrative standpoint. Up to the transfer window, we need to focus on scoring as many points as we can. After that, we’ll see what transpires.”
Verona is currently in the top three spots in Serie A, just out of the relegation zone based on goal differential. Following a thrilling 2-0 victory against Cagliari shortly before Christmas—a match in which Ngonge scored—they suffered a devastating 1-0 setback to Salernitana in their most recent match.
