Scouts from Liverpool and Aston Villa are reported to have attended the matches against Rayo Vallecano and Alaves to make checks on the youngster.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot is keen to bring in the defender as a long-term replacement for Scottish left-back Andy Robertson.

Villarreal are keen to keep Sergi Cardona at the club and have started talks over a new contract for the defender.

The report suggests that Villarreal would consider selling Cardona for around €15-20 million, should they fail with their attempt to get him to sign a new contract.
