Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are keeping an eye on Valencia’s young centre-back Christian Mosquera.

Ontheminute.com understands that both clubs are making checks on Christian Mosquera, who has impressed for Valencia this season.

Villa and Forest are keeping an eye on the defender ahead of a potential move in the summer, with Valencia looking for around £25-30million for the 20-year-old.

Mosquera’s agent, Sergio Barila, has previously stated that the youngster will not be leaving Valencia in the 2025 January transfer window.

Barila told Tuttomercatoweb: “He doesn’t want to leave during this window. He’s only thinking about helping his team reach its goals. A few sides would like to sign him in January, he’s focused on his own one.

“We’ll analyze the situation and mull over his future later on. He has a year on his deal. Now it’s not the time to speak about other clubs out of respect for Valencia.”

Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus and Inter Milan have also been scouting Mosquera several times this season.
