# Villa target Santos admits to cheap buy-out clause

Aston Villa target Christian Santos has fueled rumours regarding a move to Villa Park even further this evening after taking to social media, as well as in a recent interview, to reveal what price he can be signed for; a huge revelation for potential suitors to consider.

It had emerged just a day ago that Santos was identified as a target for Villa as they look to bolster their options out wide with a battle for Premier League survival in the offing for the remainder of the campaign.

However, these were just rumours. Now, it seems as though there is concrete evidence of a potential move away from Eredivise club after Santos himself revealed the price it would take to prize away NEC Breda’s prized asset away from the club.

If this interview from the Venezuelan international wasn’t enough to give the impression that a move to another club in Europe was in the offing, the 27-year-old took to Twitter to reiterate his release clause and the conditions within it.

Santos was also liked an article from the Birmingham Mail that suggested the winger could be on his way to England, in the form of Aston Villa.

With the increasing possibility of Santos arriving at Aston Villa, would you be happy to see him join?
