There has been long-standing interest from Milan in the Poland international, who has failed to prove his fitness to join his country at Euro 2024.

The report adds that Villa would rather keep Cash but are aware of their profit and sustainability rules (PSR) requirements and must make a notable player sale before the deadline of June 30 for the 2023/24 reporting period to remain compliant.
