Aston Villa have made no approach for Fiorentina's Sebastien Frey, according to one of the goalkeeper's representatives.[LNB] Villa are rumoured to be looking for long-term shot-stopping reinforcements because Brad Friedel, 39, is close to retirement.[LNB]Frey, who has been linked with Manchester United in the past despite having three years remaining on his current contract, has emerged as a reported target after impressive performances in Italy.[LNB]One of the 30-year-old's agents, Carlo Pallavicino, announced earlier in June that he expected his client to stay with Fiorentina, and now another representative, Giovanni Branchini, has dismissed suggestions of a move to Villa.[LNB]Branchini told Dahlia TV: "It is usually media speculation. Someone invents something and it is reported somewhere else, almost becoming truth.[LNB]"Neither Fiorentina nor I have been contacted by Aston Villa. Sebastian has repeatedly stated that he is happy with Fiorentina.[LNB]"In every marriage there is some discussion, then there is clarification and you go along."
