Aston Villa might accept a big offer for key midfielder Amadou Onana, with the midfielder ppen to taking the next steps in his career
According to Football Insider, Manchester United could be boosted in their reported pursuit of Amadou Onana, as Aston Villa could accept a big offer for the key midfielder. The Belgian star is reportedly open to the idea of taking the next steps in his career, which would see him move to a much bigger club this summer or in the near future.
Aston Villa are still in the mix for a top-four race, and from one angle, they could potentially cement their place there if results begin to go their way. Despite the prospect of Champions League football next season, the upcoming summer window once again represents a time when the club could make plenty of chopping and changing.
That effectively could see a host of their stars moving on while the club finds replacements that match the quality of the departed stars. Amadou Onana could be one of those, as the midfielder is eager to make the move to one of the elite clubs in world football.
Manchester United have been interested in Onana, as they plan on a big midfield shake-up in the close season. The Belgian has previously played for Everton before making a £50 million move to Aston Villa, where he has established himself as a key man under Unai Emery.
Manchester United have Onana on a rather impressive shortlist of midfield targets, although any move for the Belgian will depend on his asking price. Aston Villa will want a top fee for the midfielder, which could see them demand significantly more than the £50 million they paid Everton for his signature.
Aston Villa to sell Amadou Onana?
Aston Villa are not perfect with their finances, as they may have to move on players to create space in the budget and wage bill. Onana would represent one of those players who could fetch a rather large fee in the market, which could point to a potential acceptance of the midfielder’s departure.
Aston Villa could accept a large enough offer for the midfielder, which could see Manchester United’s interest pique ahead of the summer. Yet, the price point will be key, although Onana’s overall quality is suited to the elite teams in the Premier League, as he could fit in well at Old Trafford if a move were to materialise.
