La Liga giants Atletico Madrid are reportedly interested in signing 28-year-old Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans next year.

According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Youri Tielemans has attracted the attention of La Liga outfit Atletico Madrid, and he is valued at €38 million. Los Rojiblancos would be willing to submit an offer of around €35 million plus €10 million in bonuses to sign the Belgian international next year.

The 28-year-old has a contract with Aston Villa until 2027, and it will be interesting to see if the West Midlands outfit are prepared to sanction his departure. Aston Villa need more control in the middle of the park, and the Belgian could prove to be ideal. Tielemans is an exceptional passer, and he will help them control the game from deep. He will also add creativity to the side.

The player is at the peak of his career, and this could be the right time for him to join a big club. Atletico Madrid are one of the biggest clubs in Spain, and he will certainly be attracted to the idea of joining them. They will be able to offer him Champions League football and the platform to fight for major trophies. He would get to play under a world-class manager like Diego Simeone as well.

Tielemans could be tempted

Convincing Youri Tielemans to join the club will not be difficult. It will be interesting to see if the Spanish outfit can convince Aston Villa with their offer. The West Midlands outfit are looking to put together a team capable of fighting in Europe regularly and they will not want to sell their best players. The departure of the Belgian midfielder would be a major blow for them in the middle of the park.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. A package of around €45 million could be quite tempting for the English club, especially if Atletico Madrid present it at the end of the season. The 28-year-old Belgian international will be entering the final year of his contract at the time, and Aston Villa could be tempted to cash in on him. Meanwhile, having recently been linked with Fenerbahce, the Atletico Madrid rumours should please the player.
