Premier League side Aston Villa are interested in signing Inter defender Yann Bisseck, as the Nerazzurri set a €35 million price tag to finance a move for Parma starlet Giovanni Leoni.

According to what has been reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, Villa head coach Unai Emery has made it clear to the club’s upper management that Bisseck is his number one target to strengthen their defence.

German defender Bisseck only signed for the Nerazzurri in 2023 for a fee in the region of €7 million but now are prepared to entertain offers of around €35 million for the player.

West Ham United had previously shown an interest in the centre-back but Inter responded to the enquiry with a firm ‘no.’

However, things change and with the emergence of Parma’s Leoni, who has also attracted the interest of Juventus and Milan, Inter have decided to open the possibility of Bisseck’s departure.
