The 19-year-old player had impressed Spanish coach Unai Emery a while ago and believes that the player could develop further under his guidance in the English Premier League. The Europa League champions believe that the player could be a key player in the Lions' squad.

The player only participated for 33 minutes in the squad of German coach Hansi Flick last season 2025-2026 and scored goals with the first team, therefore Barcelona sees the player as untouchable and part of the team’s future.

Aston Villa have made a clear offer to Barcelona for Marc Bernal

According to sources close to the negotiations, Aston Villa are preparing to formalize a £30 million proposal for Bernal. The club, which lifted the Europa League trophy last season, has emerged as the frontrunner in the pursuit of the midfielder, with Unai Emery personally driving the move.

Yet Barcelona remain firmly opposed to any departure. The Catalan giants are convinced that Bernal's quality is irreplaceable in the current market, and they have already knocked back multiple bids—including offers worth around £25 million from other sides.
