Two teams reportedly interested in potential £9million deal with Aston Villa

According to reports, French club Marseille and Italian outfit Fiorentina are interested in signing Aston Villa defender Jordan Amavi.

Amavi has previously been strongly linked with a move to Sevilla and even underwent a medical with the club.

However the deal collapsed after the Frenchman apparently failed a medical in Spain, a claim which Villa deny and which has caused animosity between them and Villa.

Amavi played 36 games in all competitions for the Villains last season and he is said to want to leave the club for a fresh challenge. His wish looks set to be granted after he was left out of Villa’s opening day draw against Hull by Steve Bruce.

Marseille are looking to bolster their side with the addition of Amavi and a €10 million price tag has been mentioned. He has also been linked with a move to former club Nice, whom he left in 2015.
