£90k-a-week Aston Villa player could now leave, he has been ‘recommended’ to European club
The transfer window is still open in Turkey and one club in the country is interested in signing a player from Aston Villa.
The latest reports from Takvim have the latest transfer update. They suggest that Aston Villa midfielder Leander Dendoncker is attracting interest.
The report goes on to say that Fenerbache want to sign a midfielder before their transfer window slams shut.
This has led them to turn their attention towards Dendoncker. The player has been ‘recommended’ to management at the Turkish club and is apparently valued at around £13million.
Leander Dendoncker attracting interest from Turkey
The Belgian midfielder has not featured for Aston Villa in the Premier League this season. He hasn’t featured in the Premier League since a three-minute cameo in May.
With him on £90,000-a-week, it would be good for Villa to allow the player to depart this month and possibly head to Turkey.
The move would benefits all parties. Dendoncker would move to a club where he would get more game time. Meanwhile, Villa would get some hefty wages off of their finances.
Despite Villa not being able to sign a replacement until January, it does not look like they will miss the 28 year-old too much.
The club have signed some top players, including a midfielder in Youri Tielemans, so losing Dendoncker would not be too much of an issue.
Villa need to have a very strong campaign when Premier League returns this weekend as they have suffered some big losses to Liverpool and Newcastle.

Aston Villa are in the picture for Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong, according to a report from Germany.
Operating as a right wing-back, he starred for the Bundesliga side last season, managing nine goals and 11 assists from 48 games, and has extended the good run into this season as he has two goals and three assists to his name.
The 22-year-old’s current deal expires in 2025 and Kicker have a report discussing his contract situation, during which Aston Villa get a mention.
It seems ambitious for Unai Emery’s side to target the player and a potential deal will only become more challenging if and when he signs a new deal.
Kicker explain that Leverkusen will obviously have a better chance of retaining Frimpong beyond this season, should he renew the contract.
