"Atletico Madrid are reportedly preparing to seriously step up their interest in a potential transfer move for Aston Villa central midfielder Youri Tielemans. The Belgium international has mostly been a key player during his time at Villa Park, having previously also impressed during a spell at Leicester City. According to Fichajes, Tielemans could now be set to earn himself a big move to La Liga, with Atletico prepared to make an offer for the 28-year-old."
"The report states that Diego Simeone's side would be prepared to offer Villa a package worth a total of 45m for Tielemans, with an initial 35m plus 10m in add-ons. Should Aston Villa let Youri Tielemans leave for Atletico Madrid? It will be interesting to see if Villa are prepared to let Tielemans go, with the Midlands outfit tending to have to sell players from time to time in the last year or so.

"It would be a blow for Villa to lose Tielemans as well, but it might be that the right offer would have to be considered. Tielemans isn't getting any younger, so it might be a smart financial move to cash in on him while they still can. This could allow them to keep in line with PSR whilst also perhaps giving them a bit more money to work with that could be invested in a younger midfielder to replace him."
Atletico Madrid are preparing to increase their interest in signing Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans. The club would be willing to offer a 45m package, structured as 35m upfront plus 10m in add-ons. Tielemans has been a key player for Villa and previously impressed at Leicester City. Aston Villa have sold several players recently, including Douglas Luiz, Jhon Duran, and Jacob Ramsey, which creates precedent for sales. Tielemans is approaching his late twenties, so a sale could yield funds, help meet PSR requirements, and finance a younger midfield replacement.
