Alan Hutton suggests that Ezri Konsa is unlikely to leave Aston Villa despite interest from Manchester United this summer.
Konsa, having excelled under Unai Emery this season, has attracted attention from Manchester United, who are looking to strengthen their defense. While a significant bid could tempt Emery to sell Konsa, Hutton believes that the opportunity to play in the Champions League with Villa could persuade him to stay.
Hutton acknowledges Manchester United’s allure but highlights Konsa’s progress and the potential of playing in Europe’s premier club competition with Villa. The decision ultimately rests on Konsa and how he envisions his future. The transfer fee, possibly in the range of £40-£50 million, would have to be substantial given Villa’s investment in him and his international status.
The financial situation at Villa Park might necessitate the sale of key players, including Konsa. However, Konsa may be less inclined to leave if Villa secures Champions League qualification, particularly if Manchester United fails to secure a top-four finish this season.
Emery’s success in achieving a top-four finish would not only bring financial benefits but also enhance Villa’s prospects in the summer transfer market.
