At present, in the Premier League's transfer market, the most moving team is definitely Gerrard's Villa, although Newcastle is also constantly looking for targets in the transfer market, but whether it is the popularity or strength of the imported players, Newcastle's current signings and Villa are not at the same level at all. After signing Coutinho and Di negne in succession, Gerrard's side has made a big improvement in terms of squad strength, but for the ambitious Villa, this does not satisfy their appetite, and it seems that the transfer market will still have Villa grabbing people everywhere.
According to English media reports, Villa is looking for a substitute goalkeeper to find a suitable substitute for their number one goalkeeper Martinez, and the goal is also very clear, that is, the third goalkeeper rico from Greater Paris. The 28-year-old Spanish goalkeeper did not replace Navas after joining Paris, and after Donnarumma joined, even the opportunity for substitutes became much less. Although Navas has suffered injuries this season, for the most part Donnarumma is Pochettino's first choice, with Rico only playing 22 minutes off the bench.
From La Liga to Serie A, Rico did not become the number one goalkeeper of Paris as he wished, his age has not allowed him to continue to be on the bench, and he must find a suitable team to join in the shortest possible time. At the moment, Villa's goalkeeper position, in addition to the number one goalkeeper Martinez, Steele is not very trustworthy, which is why Gerrard has to find a substitute goalkeeper. Mainly when Martinez is affected by injuries or is not in good shape, someone can stand up and give Villa more protection.
But the deal is still difficult to reach, and the biggest problem is that Villa can't give Rico a stable place to play. Martinez, who is also at the prime age of his career, is certainly still their number one goalkeeper, which means that Rico's role at Villa will not change much from that of Paris, and will still have to wait for opportunities on the bench. From this point of view alone, Villa will face a lot of challenges if it wants to succeed, and Rico prefers to join a team that can give the start.
Whether or not the deal ends up, Villa has been reinforced during this winter's transfer period, the team's offensive strength has improved, the offensive means have been enriched a lot, and Gerrard's coaching ideas may be able to be more executed. Now, the most realistic goal for this ambitious team is to get a European spot as soon as possible to help the team gain greater appeal and find more talented players.
