Aston Villa has submitted an initial offer of an estimated €17 million for Almería's 24-year-old Senegalese defensive midfielder, Dion Lopy.

The management of the Andalusian club has set a price of €20 million as a prerequisite to consider opening negotiations with the Premier League side. Lopy joined Almería in August 2023 and has five caps for Senegal. His current market value is €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
