Aston Villa continues its activities in the summer transfer market, with Mikel Oyarzabal becoming a prominent target to strengthen the team in the upcoming phase as part of their plan to compete in the English Premier League.

Oyarzabal is having an outstanding season with Real Sociedad, scoring 15 goals and providing 3 assists in 33 matches, which has attracted the attention of several European clubs.

The player is considered a leader within Real Sociedad, and his contract extends until 2028, reflecting his significant importance to the team, despite Aston Villa's serious interest in him.

According to reports, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery sees Oyarzabal as an important option to strengthen the attack, given his versatility and ability to play in several positions.

Reports indicate that Aston Villa might make an offer ranging between 40 and 50 million euros, amid difficult negotiations with Real Sociedad, who do not plan to easily let go of their player.
