Saudi Arabia is emerging as a serious option for Atletico Madrid defender Mario Hermoso.

Off contract in June, Hermoso is being linked with a summer move to Aston Villa.

However, Relevo says Saudi clubs are in contact with his agents.

Hermoso has not yet been offered a contract from anywhere - but it is mainly Saudi clubs that have held talks with the player.

This season, defender has accounted for one assist in 27 league games. He has also contributed with a goal and an assist in nine games in the Champions League.
