ASTON VILLA star Matty Cash is "still top of the list" for Atletico Madrid, reports suggest.<\/p>\n
SunSport revealed in January that Cash held talks with Atletico over a potential permanent transfer this summer as the Spanish champions are looking for a full-back to replace Kieran Trippier.<\/p>\n
The right-back is among Atleti's top targets and are willing to splash a fee in the region of \u00a330-\u00a340million in the summer.<\/p>\n
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed our story as he issued an update saying that the Poland international is still a priority for the Madrid giants.<\/p>\n
Romano said on his Here We Go podcast: "I want to say again about Matty Cash and Atletico Madrid because it was already news in [January].<\/p>\n
"But I wanted to say again because he\u2019s still top of the list for Atletico Madrid as right-back. <\/p>\n

"And so it\u2019s a serious, serious possibility for Atleti."<\/p>\n
SunSport understand Atletico may be set for a bidding war at the end of the season as other clubs are also interested in Cash.<\/p>\n
But the 24-year-old is keen on a move to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium at the end of the season, which appears to be likely.<\/p>\n
But it seems like Diego Simeone's side will wait until June to put the wheels in motion.<\/p>\n
