The 28-year-old’s Fulham future is in some doubt, with the player approaching the final two years of his contract, meaning this summer could be the club’s last chance to make decent money from selling him.

Still, it’s understood that one issue for the moment could be that Man Utd and Liverpool are unsure about paying his £30-40m asking price.

United could do with an upgrade on Luke Shaw, who has performed well this season but who is not getting any younger and who has a poor injury record.

Alphonso Davies has been linked with Man Utd by my colleague Christian Falk, while there’s also been talk of the Red Devils eyeing Nathaniel Brown.

Robinson is valued by United due to his experience in the Premier League, but there’s the sense that £30-40m wouldn’t represent great value for money considering the player’s age.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are also exploring options at left-back after a slow start made by Milos Kerkez at Anfield since joining from Bournemouth last summer.

Some sources have given mixed indications about how much of a priority this will be, but Robinson is thought to be one of the names being considered to come in at least to replace Andrew Robertson as a rotation option alongside Kerkez.

Again, £30-40m would be a lot to pay for that kind of squad player, though, so Fulham might need to lower their demands for this deal to become realistic. It might also be in their interests to do so as the player’s value will only decrease further by next summer when he has just a year left on his contract.

Youri Tielemans has reportedly made it clear that he intends to remain at Aston Villa, despite growing interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League.

As speculation builds ahead of the summer transfer window, the Belgian midfielder is said to be prioritising his role in Unai Emery’s project rather than pursuing a financially lucrative move abroad, according to Football Insider.

Tielemans has become an important figure at Villa Park, and his decision to stay shows both his personal ambitions and the club’s upward trajectory in recent seasons.

Tielemans is focused on Premier League ambitions

At 28, Tielemans is at a stage in his career where many players begin to consider offers from emerging leagues.

However, reports suggest the midfielder believes he still has unfinished business in the Premier League and is eager to continue competing at the highest level in Europe.

Since joining Aston Villa, Tielemans has re-established himself as a key contributor in midfield.

Known for his composure, passing range, and ability to dictate the tempo of games, he has provided both creativity and stability in Emery’s system.

His experience, gained during his time at Leicester City, where he famously scored the winning goal in the 2021 FA Cup final, continues to be a valuable asset for Villa as they aim to compete for European qualification.

Midfielder has confidence in the Aston Villa project

Tielemans’ commitment also shows the progress Aston Villa have made under Unai Emery.

The club has developed into a competitive side capable of challenging for European places, and players are increasingly buying into the long-term vision.

Villa’s ability to retain key players like Tielemans is seen as a positive sign for their continued development.

The Saudi Pro League has been actively targeting high-profile players from Europe in recent years, offering significant financial incentives to attract established talent.

Tielemans is understood to be among the players identified by clubs in the region as a potential signing.

However, despite the financial appeal, the Belgian international is reportedly not convinced that a move at this stage of his career.

According to SportsBoom, Conventry City are interested in signing Aston Villa star Ross Barkley and the Premier League side are open to letting him leave.

Manager Frank Lampard is keen to reunite with the experienced midfielder if promotion is secured, viewing him as a key addition to strengthen the squad for top-flight survival.

Coventry sit top of the Championship, holding a comfortable nine-point gap over third-placed Ipswich Town with just eight games remaining.

With automatic promotion firmly within reach, the club has already begun planning for life in the Premier League.

Lampard is targeting for experience in his team

Lampard’s influence is central to Coventry’s transfer thinking. The former Chelsea manager is understood to be prioritizing players with Premier League experience, recognizing the challenge newly promoted teams often face in avoiding immediate relegation.

Barkley, now 32, fits that profile perfectly. The midfielder has enjoyed a long career in England’s top flight, representing clubs such as Everton, Chelsea, and Aston Villa, and has also earned caps for the England national team.

Lampard is familiar with Barkley from their time together at Chelsea, where the midfielder enjoyed some of his most productive spells. That existing relationship is believed to be a key factor behind Coventry’s interest.

Barkley’s situation at Aston Villa

Barkley remains under contract at Aston Villa until 2027, after the club activated an extension clause earlier this season.

The move was designed to protect his market value rather than guarantee a long-term role in the squad.

While Barkley has contributed as a squad player, competition for places at Villa Park has limited his opportunities to secure a regular starting spot. Reports suggest that Villa could be open to offers for the midfielder if a suitable bid is made during the summer window.

For Barkley, a move to Coventry could offer the chance to play a more prominent role, particularly in a team built around his experience and leadership.
