| Adem Ljajic is reported to be a target for Aston Villa |
ASTON VILLA are looking to sign Roma winger Adem Ljajic, according to reports in Italy.
The Serbia international has been linked with Liverpool, who were reportedly told to pay £37million, but the Serie A giants now appear willing to do business at a more realistic price.
Signing Mohamed Salah from Chelsea and Edin Dzeko from Manchester City means they have to let some players go, with Ljajic the likely candidate to make way.
And Sky Italia claim Villa will be the club to swoop.
It would mark another transfer coup for Tim Sherwood's side, who signed Adama Traore from Barcelona despite reported interest from Liverpool.
Tottenham were also credited with retaining a slight interest along with Manchester United.
The 23-year-old signed for Roma from Fiorentina for a fee in the region of £8million in 2013.
He started his career at Partizan Belgrade and had a trial at United in 2008 but they opted out of a deal to take him to Old Trafford.
In two years at the Stadio Olimpico he has made 60 Serie A appearances, scoring 16 goals.
