Birmingham's Aston Villa are closing in on the transfer of the Atletico Madrid central defender. According to information from journalist Nicolo Schira, the Villans are close to signing a contract with Mario Hermoso, who is due to become a free agent in the summer.
The source says Hermoso will sign a contract with Aston Villa until 2028. The Spaniard will earn 5 million euros per year in Unai Emery's team.
Let us remember that Atlético tried to keep Mario, but the footballer asked for too much salary. The 28-year-old defender was previously linked with a transfer to Catalan Barcelona, but Hermoso is now on the verge of moving to Aston Villa.
