According to 'kicker', Aston Villa is also very interested in Danilho Doekhi. Doekhi has recently entered the last six months of his contract at Union Berlin. Union Berlin wants 13 million euros for an early departure, and a contract extension appears to be excluded. The player's cousin, Lamare Bogarde, is currently active at Aston Villa, and it is considered possible that this connection could have an influence on the negotiations.

Danilho Doekhi, a 27-year-old Dutch centre-back, has a contract with Union Berlin that expires in the summer and he is not seeking to extend it. This means the club could only receive a transfer fee in the current window. Two Premier League clubs, Leeds United and Aston Villa, are showing the most interest in the defender. Aston Villa is the club where Doekhi's cousin, Lamare Bogarde, is under contract. The former Netherlands U21 international joined Union Berlin in July 2022 and has made 4 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, providing 2 assists. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €13 million. Reports in summer 2025 cited a release clause of approximately €9 million, while his asking price was reportedly €15 million in late 2024.
