Aston Villa is preparing a formal offer that could reach €80 million to sign Marc Bernal, a 19-year-old midfielder from FC Barcelona, in this summer transfer market. It is one of Unai Emery's requests.

The board of the Villans seeks to incorporate the Catalan youth player to replace Youri Tielemans after his transfer to Manchester United, although the Barça board maintains its refusal to sell him considering him strategic under a contract sealed until June 2029.

Unai Emery's interest in Marc Bernal to strengthen the midfield

Unai Emery has identified Bernal as the top priority for Aston Villa's midfield in the 2026/2027 season. After finalizing the sale of Youri Tielemans to Manchester United, the English club has financial liquidity and plans to raise its initial offer of £30 million to a structure of €80 million to persuade the Catalan board.

FC Barcelona has already rejected previous proposals around £25 million for the 19-year-old player. The institutional position at Camp Nou is not to negotiate for the midfielder, citing the validity of his contract signed until June 2029.

The FC Barcelona's stance against Premier League competition

The FC Barcelona responded negatively to a recent inquiry from Manchester City regarding the youth player, confirming that the footballer is not for transfer under current circumstances. In addition to Unai Emery's interest, clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Atlético Madrid closely follow the 19-year-old midfielder's situation.

Despite Barça's firm rejection, Aston Villa remains the entity with the greatest financial willingness to carry out the operation in this market. In Barcelona, it is believed that the player should take on a key role in the first team during the 2026/2027 season, making any agreement below his release clause difficult.

Aston Villa's board will formalize the proposal in writing at FC Barcelona's offices in the first week of August 2026. The British team's goal is to test the financial strength of Barça with the €80 million offer before exploring other alternatives for the midfield in the transfer market.
