Aston Villa offer Ross Barkley a three-year deal as they look to use Champions League football to lure the midfielder following superb season at Luton

Aston Villa are offering a three-year deal for Ross Barkley as they look to prise him from Luton Town.

The 30-year old has interest from a number of Premier League clubs following his renaissance season at Luton. However, Unai Emery's Villa can also offer a return to Champions League football.

Villa hold an interest in Chelsea's Conor Gallagher and free agent Mario Hermoso from Atletico Madrid. Chelsea remain keen on their striker John Duran while Philippe Coutinho is wanted by Vasco de Gama.

Barkley enjoyed a superb season at Luton and scored five goals in the Premier League, while he provided four assists.

Although Luton were relegated from the Premier League, it was still an excellent campaign for Barkley individually. 

The midfielder previously had a loan spell at Villa in the 2020-21 campaign, when he was a Chelsea player. 

During that stint at Villa he played 24 games and scored three goals.

Barkley started his career at Everton and remained at the club until 2018, when he joined Chelsea. 

A move to Nice followed in 2022 prior to his switch to Luton last summer. 

Barkley has been capped by England on 33 occasions, with his last appearance coming in 2019.
