Snipe at Monchi: Aston Villa’s “ridiculous proposal” has diverted the player’s attention

Marcos Acuña of Sevilla was not acquired by Aston Villa during the most recent transfer window.

The Sevilla president Pepe Castro had disclosed the English club’s bid for the player, and the Villans were eager to get the left-back to Villa Park. When speaking about the offer from Aston Villa, he also left the door open for the transfer of the 31-year-old.

The defender’s unsuccessful transfer to Aston Villa is examined by today’s AS to explain his shaky start to the current campaign.

The Argentina international has played in just six games and has missed more than a month of action due to injury.

It has been claimed that Acua was sidetracked this season by Aston Villa’s strategy after being “dodged by controversies” previous season.

Back in June, Monchi led the English club’s pursuit of the South American after leaving the Europa League champions to join them.

As AS refer to Monchi’s “ridiculous proposal,” it is evident that Sevilla was displeased with their former director.

Grada3 reported earlier this month that Unai Emery has ordered Aston Villa to try again to sign Acua in January.
