Report: French and German clubs plot last-minute loan swoop for Aston Villa goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic
Three unnamed clubs a🎃re trying to sign Lovre Kalinic from Aston Villa before today’s deadline. European clubs can sign players before today’s deadline and Kalinic is attracting attention from France and Germany, .
These three sides are trying to sign Kalinic on loan today. The Croat꧑ia international has dropped down the pecking order at Aston Villa sincཧe his £7m () move from Gent in January.
Kalinic was brought in after Orjan Nyland made a string of highℱ-profile errors. But Kalinic was no better between the sticks. After 🦄just eight appearances, Kalinic was dropped and replaced by Jed Steer.
The 29-year-old sat on the bench for Aston Villa’s play-off final win against Derby County. But since their return to the Premier League, he has fallen further down the pecking order. Steer is now second-choice and summer signing Tom Heaton is the first-൲choice stopper.
With first-team opportunitiꦜes looking bleak in the W♎est Midlands, Kalinic might be tempted to move. He has to find a new club today but he has attracted interest from France and Germany.
TBR’s view
Kalinic needs to get out before today’s deadline. Even if it is just a loan deal, he needs to sort his career out and he is unlikely 🔯to get chances to do that at Aston Vil🍷la. With a club in France or Germany, Kalinic can reignite his stalling career.
Aston Vilꦬla should sanction his exit. The Villans do not need Kalinic even if Heaton or Steer su🍃ffers an injury. With Nyland still on their books and Matija Sarkic out on loan, Aston Villa are well-stocked in this department.
