Aston Villa are serious about keeping hold of key midfielder Youri Tielemans and are determined to agree a new deal.
According to The Telegraph, Aston Villa are prioritising a new deal for key midfielder Youri Tielemans ahead of a crunch period. The Belgian midfielder has been a key part of Unai Emery’s system, with the club now determined to find a way to keep the midfielder on board for the long-term future.
Aston Villa did not have a great transfer window, but they will pat themselves on the back for keeping hold of their most important players. The idea was to keep building through the core of players they had in the previous season, while finding solutions in the market to improve the squad in some ways.
Earlier in the summer, Aston Villa were prioritising new deals for Youri Tielemans and John McGinn as a priority, while Boubacar Kamara is also on that wishlist. While McGinn is close to signing a new contract, there are still possible talks underway for the Belgian midfielder.
Those three stars represent a big part of Unai Emery’s plans, and form the core of the current side. This Aston Villa team have the quality to mount a serious challenge for the Europa League crown while they continue to disrupt the Premier League big six.
Following their win over West Ham at the weekend, Villa have maintained a safe distance from league leaders Arsenal. For sustained growth and even the potential to challenge for the title, they need their players committed, and while they are keen to succeed in the present, they are also eager to keep hold of key stars like Tielemans for the long-term future.
Aston Villa set to accelerate Youri Tielemans talks?
Aston Villa are determined to renew Tielemans’ contract at the club as they could accelerate talks with his camp. Having arrived on a free transfer from Leicester City back in 2023, the Belgian has grown into the most important midfielder at the club, as the Midlands side are eager to keep hold of him, as next summer could open the doors for rivals to make a move for him.
Aston Villa have done some good work with regards to renewing player contracts, as Morgan Rogers signed a new deal, and now their efforts are to renew Tielemans and the likes. It remains to be seen whether they are ready to accelerate the talks and get his signature over the line soon enough.
