According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Aston Villa is willing to sell him for 23 million euros because his contract ends in the coming months and the player himself wants to leave to have more continuity, which he does not have with Steve Gerrard’s squad. His situation has generated a lot of interest in several important clubs in Europe's top leagues.

Clubs such as PSG, Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona and Newcastle United all said to be interested in the player, complicating a possible move for the 18 year-old.

In fact, according to the portal 'TalkSport', the 'Villains' would be willing to sell him in this transfer window and thus prevent him from leaving for free next year in case he does not agree to renew. The same source claims that his market value will be valued at around 20 million pounds, a figure that could become a 'bargain' in the future if his level continues to rise.

Promising young talent in the Premier League

The English midfielder, who comes from being the MVP of the U19 European Championship 2022 and one of the leaders of his national team on the way to the title, was formed in the youth ranks of Aston Villa and can play in the midfield with an offensive appeal. Despite being only 18 years old, he has shown differential talent to play at the top European level. He has played 14 games in the Premier League, but only played 312 minutes.
