Aston Villa Demands €60m for Ollie Watkins as Fenerbahçe Pursue Transfer

Aston Villa is demanding €60m for Ollie Watkins as Fenerbahçe pursue a transfer. The Turkish club is Fenerbahçe's number one target for their forward line this summer.

What happened?

Fenerbahçe's leadership have turned their attention to England following the arrival of Mason Greenwood. They are now pursuing Ollie Watkins at Aston Villa. The striker is the top target on Fenerbahçe's list of strikers to bolster their squad this summer.

Why it matters for Ollie Watkins

The England striker has reportedly already given Fenerbahçe the green light to pursue a transfer. However, Aston Villa are currently demanding a high transfer fee for their striker. This could impact Ollie Watkins's future at the club.

What comes next?

Fenerbahçe's board are now attempting to persuade Unai Emery's side to lower the transfer fee to €40m. They are willing to pay this amount via an instalment payment plan. However, it remains to be seen whether Aston Villa would accept a payment plan.

Fenerbahçe's interest in Ollie Watkins has been ongoing for months. The potential transfer has refused to go away in the last month either. A report last week explained that the Turkish side were planning talks with Aston Villa for the transfer, having already struck a three-year deal with the striker and his team.

A second report just four days ago then explained that they were willing to 'push to the limit' to try and get Watkins this summer. And with his participation in the World Cup soon over, they have a clear runway to hold talks as much as they want. Watkins' agent had previously insisted that no talks would happen until the World Cup was over. Now it's a case of asking price, with Villa wanting a top price for their number one striker.

The transfer saga continues to unfold, with Fenerbahçe's interest in Ollie Watkins remaining strong. The Turkish club is willing to pay a significant transfer fee to secure the striker's services. However, Aston Villa are holding out for a higher amount, which could impact the transfer's progress.
