Sevilla defender Marcos Acuna has recalled missing a move to Aston Villa.

Acuna came close to joining Villa last season.

He told ABC: “They weren't just rumours. Sevilla had an important offer (from Villa) that, due to a personal dispute between the president (Jose Castro) and Monchi, was not finalised, and I was the one affected. I don't think I deserved it because I would have earned a big salary increase, but that's over now.

"I'm focused now on the remaining games this season."

Acuna added: “I have a contract until 2025, but I don't know what will happen. First, I have to accumulate minutes, play games and then see what's next."
