Youri Tielemans Aston Villa transfer 2025 — Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans has left the door open for a potential summer move after Aston Villa failed to qualify for the Champions League, despite finishing sixth in the Premier League.

The 28-year-old played a crucial role in Unai Emery’s midfield as Villa reached the Europa League quarter-finals last season. But with only Europa League football on offer next term, speculation around his future is growing.

“I feel good at Villa… I have made progress in all areas. Does that make me think about a transfer? Nothing is ruled out.” — Youri Tielemans

Tielemans Still Committed — For Now

Speaking ahead of Belgium’s World Cup qualifier vs Wales, Tielemans made it clear he remains focused on international duty, but did not commit fully to remaining at Villa Park.

He emphasised his development under Emery and praised the club’s faith in him, but the possibility of a move remains open — especially if a Champions League club comes calling.

Could Tielemans Still Leave Villa This Summer?

Despite being one of the Premier League’s most consistent midfielders last season, Tielemans has ambitions to play at the highest level. With Villa narrowly missing out on a Champions League spot, interest from top European clubs is expected to build.

“Nothing is ruled out, but I am not really thinking about that.” — Tielemans, on transfer speculation

Key Bullet Callouts

  • Tielemans open to transfer despite “feeling good” at Villa
  • Villa will play Europa League after 6th-place finish
  • Emery relied heavily on Belgian star all season
  • Top clubs monitoring his situation ahead of Euros

What’s Next for Tielemans?

Villa fans will hope Tielemans remains for their European adventure, but with his contract nearing its final 18 months, the summer window could prove decisive. Any approach from a Champions League side may be hard to ignore.

Could this be the end of Tielemans’ time at Villa Park?
