Atletico Madrid are eyeing Aston Villa fullback Matty Cash.

Atletico manager Diego Simeone is searching for a full-back to replace Kieran Trippier following his £12million move to Newcastle.

Sources in Spain tell us that Cash is among Atleti's top targets and are willing to splash a fee in the region of £30-£40million during the summer transfer window, says The Sun.

The Spanish champions may be set for a bidding war at the end of the season as other clubs are interested in the right-back.

But the Poland international is keen on a move to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, which appears to be likely.

It seems like Atletico will wait until June to put the wheels in motion - but a late January swoop can't be completely ruled out.

This comes after Villa signed Calum Chambers, who can operate at both right-back and centre-back, from Arsenal.
