Premier League
The Aston Villa has taken a firm stance regarding the future of one of its offensive pillars: Ollie Watkins. According to the British press, the leadership of the Birmingham side has made it clear that the forward will not leave the club under any circumstances, despite the increasing interest from other Premier League teams, especially from Manchester United.
At 29 years old, Watkins has established himself as a key piece of Unai Emery's project, being the main offensive reference and the highest-paid player in the squad, with a salary around 9 million euros per season. His consistent performance and goal-scoring ability have been crucial for the team's recent growth, aiming to continue climbing in domestic competition and shining in Europe.
Non-transferable for Aston Villa
In this context, as reported by 'Telegraph', the Villa officials believe that letting go of the forward would mean a setback in their sporting aspirations. Therefore, they have secured his continuity and do not consider negotiating with any club, no matter how attractive the offer may be.
Watkins, who has also been capped for England, has shown commitment to the Aston Villa project, and his performance backs him as one of the most reliable attackers in the league. The message from Villa Park is clear: the striker is part of both the present and the future of the team. Any attempt to sign him, for now, will be met with a resounding no.
