Aston Villa is close to signing Parma goalkeeper Jion Suzuki. Sport24.az reports that insider Nicolo Schira has shared the news on his social media account.
The Birmingham club is ready to pay €30 million for the goalkeeper, excluding bonuses.
A few days ago, it was reported that Suzuki's transfer to PSG was about to happen, but the French club failed to agree with the player's agents on commission, and the transfer did not take place.
Note that Suzuki played 22 games for Parma last season (keeping a clean sheet in six of them) and conceded 30 goals. The "goalkeeper" played 4 games for the Japanese national team at DC-2026 and conceded 5 goals.
