According to a report by Caught Offside, Kiliann Sildillia is the subject of interest from Liverpool. Aston Villa and Manchester City are also keen on signing the SC Freiburg right-back. Meanwhile, the Bundesliga outfit will likely sell the French full-back in the summer transfer window, and they will demand around €16 million to part ways with him.

Kiliann Sildillia and his soaring stock

Kiliann Sildillia has risen in prominence since joining SC Freiburg from FC Metz in July 2020. The Frenchman initially represented the Bundesliga club’s reserve side before breaking into the first-team squad at Stade Europa-Park. He was also a part of France’s squad at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with the host nation winning the silver medal.

However, the 22-year-old has struggled with fitness issues this term, with the injuries restricting his game time to less than 1,000 minutes across 17 appearances in all competitions while chipping in with two goals. Nevertheless, the youngster’s stock is high, with Aston Villa and Manchester City joining Liverpool in the race to sign him from SC Freiburg in the summer transfer window.

A man in demand

Liverpool will likely dip into the market for a right-back in the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s long-term future. The English international is reportedly closing in on joining Real Madrid in a Bosman move in the summer transfer window. So, the French full-back has emerged as a viable target for Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa’s interest in Kiliann Sildillia is perplexing. The West Midlands outfit signed Andres Garcia in the winter transfer window, while Matty Cash is the first-choice right-back. So, unless one of those players leaves this summer, Aston Villa should focus on other areas instead of signing a right-back.

As for Manchester City, Kyle Walker will seal a permanent move away from the Etihad in the summer transfer window after his loan deal with AC Milan ends. So, Sildillia has emerged as a viable target. The latest report has boosted the Frenchman’s suitors’ prospects, with SC Freiburg open to cashing in on him this summer.

The 22-year-old has entered the final 18 months of his contract, and he will be available for around €16 million in the summer transfer window. So, it will be interesting to see where the French full-back lands amid his links with Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Manchester City.
