Aston Villa have reportedly identified Marseille defender Duje Caleta-Car as a potential summer transfer target.
With Villa's form having dropped off of late, it appears increasingly likely that manager Steven Gerrard will look to make widespread changes to his squad.
Earlier this week, it was claimed that Gerrard had personally made the trip to France to assess the qualities of Marseille midfielder Boubacar Kamara, who is expected to be available on a free transfer.
However, according to Football Insider, the Englishman was also taking an interest in Caleta-Car ahead of a possible approach ahead of 2022-23.
The Croatia international has long been linked with a switch to the Premier League with Liverpool having previously been among his suitors.
Unless the 25-year-old extends his contract past 2023, he is expected to be available for the right price, although Villa will almost certainly face fierce competition for his signature.
Caleta-Car has made 20 starts for a Marseille side which currently sit in second place in the Ligue 1 table.
