Aston Villa is determined to strengthen their right-back position, and Monchi, their sporting director, has already identified two key names in LaLiga: Andrei Ratiu from Rayo Vallecano, and Óscar Mingueza from Celta de Vigo. Both players have caught the interest of the English team, and their performance in the recent match between their teams was closely monitored by Monchi from the stands at Vallecas stadium.

At 25 years old, Ratiu has become a key figure in Rayo's lineup, thanks to his defensive solidity and ability to join the attack. His performance this season has not gone unnoticed, attracting attention from clubs outside of Spain. On the other hand, 24-year-old Mingueza brings versatility and experience, having demonstrated his ability both as a full-back and center-back during his time at FC Barcelona and now at Celta.

Aston Villa Looking for a Right-Back in Spain

Aston Villa coach Unai Emery is searching for a player who can provide direct competition to Matty Cash at right-back, and both Ratiu and Mingueza fit the profile needed to maintain high performance in all competitions. Additionally, the age of both players makes them future investments, aligning with the club's strategy of combining youth and quality.

Monchi's presence in Spain suggests that Aston Villa could accelerate negotiations for one of these targets. The interest from the British club reinforces the importance of LaLiga as a talent pool for Premier League teams. With the transfer window open, it remains to be seen if Villa will finalize any of these signings in the coming weeks.
