Villa are among five Premier League clubs said to have made contact over Como's captain, Graeme Bailey reported for TEAMtalk on September 30th, alongside Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Brighton. The report does not say when the contact was made or how far Villa's interest goes. Da Cunha, 25, was persuaded to stay at Como and has since signed a new five-year contract, to 2031, and the club are under no pressure to sell; his recent France breakthrough is expected to strengthen their hand. No fee or Villa approach has been detailed.
