Juventus left-back Andrea Cambiaso could have signed for Aston Villa in the Premier League.
The defender was a top target for the Midlands club in the summer, according to Calciomercato.

However, Villa were unable to put in a bid that enticed Juventus to sell their star.
Villa had a €35 million bid turned down in the summer, which prompted them to look elsewhere.
The source quotes Juventus’ stance around certain players as follows: “(Juventus have) built high walls around their prized assets, rejecting the attempts of the reigning European giants.”
Villa instead moved for Chelsea’s left-back Ian Maatsen, who was on loan at Borussia Dortmund last term.
