Youri Tielemans is increasingly likely to remain at Aston Villa, despite reported interest in the midfielder.
Sources indicate that the 29-year-old is a vital part of Unai Emery’s plans. The Aston Villa boss is keen to deter potential suitors to keep Tielemans at Villa Park.
Emery’s Plans Include Tielemans
Aston Villa will block offers for Tielemans, as Emery has no plans to lose his star midfielder at the end of the season. Despite suggestions that the club’s financial position may force them to sell players before they can buy, there are a number of fringe players who will be allowed to leave before Tielemans.
Emery won’t want to consider losing such a key player, and it seems the Belgian is happy at Villa Park as well especially if there’s Champions League football on offer.
After a 4-2 win against Liverpool, Emery’s side sealed qualification for the Champions League, in what will be a huge boost for Aston Villa’s transfer plans.
Interest from Europe and Saudi Arabia
There is expected to be no shortage of clubs interested in signing Tielemans because of his performances for Aston Villa.
Should he be made available by Villa, Europe’s top clubs will be placed on alert, with some keeping an eye on his situation regardless of his availability.
Saudi Pro League clubs are also interested in Tielemans ahead of the summer. Clubs in the Middle East are keen to use their financial might to lure the midfielder away from Villa Park amid the ongoing concerns about their spending power.
Despite that, a move to Saudi Arabia is currently considered unlikely, as Tielemans believes he still has plenty to offer at the top level and for Aston Villa.
