Aston Villa are reportedly interested in signing Juventus midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur this month.
According to a report from Football Insider, the Premier League side have now submitted an offer of around £18 million for the 24-year-old Juventus midfielder.
The Italian giants are reportedly willing to sell the player this month but they are looking to bring in a replacement before letting the Uruguayan international leave.
Bentancur is thought to be interested in joining the West Midlands club and a move to the Premier League is a tempting proposition for him.
It is no surprise that Steven Gerrard is looking to improve his midfield options especially after the injury to Marvelous Nakamba.
