Aston Villa, led by Unai Emery, has turned its attention to strengthening its defense and has identified Samu Lino, a player from Atlético de Madrid, as its main target for the transfer windows, either winter or next summer.
The English club is looking for a full-back who can offer versatility in its scheme, and the 24-year-old Brazilian seems to be the ideal option. Although Lino is primarily a winger, his ability to adapt to the left-back position and his offensive skills have piqued the interest of the Villans. Aston Villa hopes that the arrival of the Brazilian can bring a new dimension both defensively and offensively.

Monchi, the sporting director of Aston Villa, has been closely following Lino since 2022, and the club seems willing to make a strong bid for him. With the intention of improving the position currently held by Lucas Digne, the Birmingham team sees in Lino a clear upgrade in both aspects of the game.
However, convincing Lino to leave a competitive club like Atlético de Madrid will not be an easy task, especially considering that the Madrid-based team constantly competes for major titles. Although Aston Villa offers the opportunity to play in the UEFA Champions League, the club's level of ambition is still far from that of Atlético.
Despite this, the English club has the financial resources to close a deal, and it will be interesting to see if they manage to persuade the player to their ranks next year. The possibility of Lino making the jump to the Premier League is up in the air and will depend on negotiations between the two clubs in the coming months.
