“Legal offer” – Unai Emery approves Aston Villa bid for 23-year-old

Aston Villa are likely to make a move for the Turkish league star this summer after Unai Emery personally approved the move, according to reports.

Villa and NSWE support Emery

After the incredible progress made by Aston Villa, they would be foolish not to support the Spaniard. Taking over at a relegation-fighting club, he has turned them into Premier League power once again, and look set to return to the Champions League for the first time since the 1980s, seven points clear of 5th-placed Tottenham and Ange. Postecoglou's side have only three games left to play.

They can still record silverware, or they will need a historic result against Olympiacos in Athens on Thursday after losing 4-2 to the Greek side at Villa Park in the semi-finals of the UEFA Conference League.

That would set up a final against one of Fiorentina and Club Brugge, and would crown what has already been an impressive campaign in the Midlands.

Transfer plans have been put in place, as Villa look set to swoop for Spanish free agent Mario Hermoso at Emery's request. They are also reported to have sent scouts to watch Alex Baena ahead of a summer transfer, and the Villarreal man has previously played for Emery, although it is understood the Villans will have to activate his €60m (£52m) release clause to make . any deal happening this summer.

Muci's bid gets Emery's seal of approval

Besiktas' new signing comes in the form of Besiktas midfielder Ernest Muci, who Villa have reportedly been interested in for a long time. The midfielder has scored two goals in seven games for Besiktas, but Villa fans will remember him for his three goals. two games against them at the beginning of the season while working for Legia Warsaw.

Besiktas president Hasam Arat said he has rejected one offer and is determined to keep the Albanian this summer.

The 9-capped Albanian is under contract until 2027, and takes home £49,000 a week, and has shown no intention of changing clubs six months after his arrival.

But that hasn't stopped Villa from trying, with reports from Turkey now claiming an “official offer” is “on the way” for the midfielder, although that offer is expected to be around €15m, which is likely to be rejected given that. a bid of 20m euros has already been rejected.

However, the deal is being pushed through after Emery “gave his consent” to the deal, which could replace on-loan Nicolo Zaniolo in Aston Villa's midfield. He has this in mind, and given how far Emery still has at Villa Park, the Midlands outfit could give Emery his man.
