Undeterred Aston Villa set to 'renew' transfer interest in Villarreal duo
Aston Villa are set to renew their interest in Villarreal duo Juan Foyth and Alex Baena when the summer transfer window opens, it has been claimed.
Unai Emery is no stranger to tapping into the Spanish market and last month shelled out £6m for right-back Andres Garcia from Segunda side Levante.
Villa are also claimed to have missed out on several targets as moves for Loic Bade and Juan Foyth broke down during the winter transfer window. However, according to TBR Football, the Midlands club have decided not to be deterred, and a renewed approach is expected to be made in the summer.

The report claims that Villa will renew their interest in full-back Foyth, while Villarreal teammate and left winger Alex Baena will also be on their list of targets.
Foyth was targeted by Aston Villa after they missed out on Bade. A deal had looked possible at one stage, but in the end, it was ruled out. Nevertheless, Emery appears determined to be reunited with the player that he brought to Villarreal from Tottenham Hotspur back in October 2020, says Football Espana.
It says Baena has been a long-term target for Aston Villa, and Villarreal are expected to be open to offers during the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old playmaker turned down a big-money move to Al Ahli in recent weeks, which gives hope to the rest of his suitors, which also includes Atletico Madrid.
