# Aston Villa: Vecino transfer-listed by Inter

**Aston Villa and West Ham United have been [linked](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/inter-un-anno-fa-un-mercato-da-premier-un-errore-da-non-ripetere-36120) with a move for Inter Milan midfielder Matias Vecino in recent months.**

Both clubs [reportedly](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/inter-un-anno-fa-un-mercato-da-premier-un-errore-da-non-ripetere-36120) made offers for the 29-year-old prior to the New Year, however, the Uruguay international remained with the Italian giants past the recent winter deadline.

A report from the reliable [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/tesoretto-inter-obiettivo-30-milioni-da-vidal-a-vecino-rivoluzio-23983) has now claimed that Inter have placed Vecino on the transfer market ahead of the summer window.

Any side wanting to secure Vecino’s services will have to pay at least £6.8m – a relatively low price considering he holds a [£10.8m Transfermarkt valuation](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matias-vecino/profil/spieler/143812) and is under contract until [2022](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matias-vecino/profil/spieler/143812).

### Transfer Tavern take

At £6.8m, a deal for Vecino could prove to be a shrewd piece of business. He’s [capable of playing as a defensive or an attacking midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matias-vecino/profil/spieler/143812), however, his [primary position is a central midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matias-vecino/profil/spieler/143812).

Vecino, capped [41](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matias-vecino/profil/spieler/143812) times by Uruguay, reportedly picks up [£80,000-a-week](https://salarysport.com/football/player/mat%C3%ADas-vecino/) with the Serie A giants.

Jack Grealish is the [only permanent Villa player who earns more](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/aston-villa-fc/payroll/) than £80,000-a-week in the Midlands, and you’d expect Vecino would want a similar pay packet to the one he’s currently picking up abroad.

Only time will tell if Villa will reignite their interest with a summer bid, but with Vecino in the shop window with a reduced tag, that could appeal to Dean Smith, despite [Morgan Sanson’s arrival](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55818166) back in January.
