Man City Linked to Ezri Konsa Talks as Liverpool and Spurs Track Aston Villa Defender

Aston Villa insist the England centre-back is not available in January.

Overview

  • Former Villa chief Keith Wyness told Football Insider that Konsa has held initial, not advanced, discussions with Manchester City and is exploring his options.
  • Football Insider previously reported Villa have no intention of selling the 28-year-old in the winter window, with Unai Emery viewing him as integral.
  • Liverpool are reported to be prioritising a centre-back in 2026 and have identified Konsa as a serious option, with Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham, Newcastle and Crystal Palace also credited with interest.
  • CaughtOffside reports Crystal Palace are considering Konsa as a potential replacement for Marc Guehi, who is expected to become a free agent at season’s end, though Liverpool remain keen on Guehi.
  • Konsa has three years left on his deal and has drawn praise for his form this season, with reports suggesting Villa could seek up to £45m as PSR pressures linger after recent player sales.
