Aston Villa striker could leave this summer.
Aston Villa striker Borja Baston could make a swift exit from the club this summer.
Spanish newspaper AS report Baston is negotiating with side Real Zaragoza.
The report states Baston is ‘closer than ever’ to agreeing a move, providing Zaragoza clinch promotion to La Liga.
Zaragoza sit second in the Segunda Liga, in one of the automatic promotion spots, before the season was paused.
Baston was a surprise signing for Villa during the January transfer window, joining on a permanent deal from Swansea.
He has made just two substitute appearances, against Tottenham and Southampton, for a combined 16 minutes of action.
Villa signed him on a free, with Swansea keen to shift his salary off their wage bill.
He only signed a short term contract and is a free agent from June 30, unless the club extend it on an emergency basis due to the current crisis.
