Aston Villa would also be interested in Romelu Lukaku and, according to SportsBoom, remain on standby if their Tammy Abraham deal is not completed. The striker has been offered to Premier League clubs, with Napoli willing to accept around €15–20m.

Aston Villa considered acquiring Romelu Lukaku as a replacement for Jhon Duran, after receiving offers for the South American player. However, Lukaku was not agreeable to the move, and the transfer did not materialize.
