Aston Villa ‘to accept £50m bid’ for Youri Tielemans
Youri Tielemans could potentially be on his way out of Aston Villa in the upcoming transfer window for £50million.
The Belgium international has been a key player at Villa Park since signing as a free agent after leaving Leicester City in 2023.
Emery has made Tielemans one of the cornerstones of his project in Birmingham, as they look to secure a Champions League spot for next season.
Jhon Duran departed Villa Park in the winter transfer window for a significant sum despite being influential for the Lions, and the 28-year-old midfielder might follow that same path.
Al-Hilal confident Aston Villa will accept £50m for Tielemans transfer
Al-Hilal are confident Aston Villa will accept £50m for Tielemans next summer, according to Ben Jacobs.
The GiveMeSport journalist revealed on X (12 May) that the Saudi Pro League outfit have the Belgian star on their radar to bolster their squad ahead of the Club World Cup.

| Premier League | 35 | 3 | 7 |
It’s been claimed that Al-Hilal will have a new meeting with Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes soon, and it looks like the Lions’ midfielder is seen as an alternative.
While NSWE may have worries about PSR (Profit and Sustainability Rules), they arguably can’t sell their best players every year and expect Emery to make progress.
NSWE can’t sanction Tielemans transfer at Villa Park
Chelsea have given the Villa Park faithful hope of getting Champions League football for next season after losing to Newcastle United on Sunday (11 May).
The Birmingham outfit are only behind the Blues on goal difference, who are fifth in the Premier League.
Emery’s team got the job done against Bournemouth, as Ollie Watkins scored the lone goal of the game to win a crucial three points at the Vitality Stadium.
Villa’s next opponents are Tottenham and Manchester United, who are having a poor domestic season, and will be focused on the Europa League final.
If the Red Devils beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 16 May, it could give the Lions a major boost.
If the Villans secure a place in European football’s top division, it would arguably help them convince Tielemans to stay, even if a lucrative offer from Al-Hilal arrives.
NSWE would do well to keep someone like the Belgian midfielder on their books for the coming seasons.
